So keep in mind a negative minus a negative is the same as a negative plus a positive. For example -9-(-7) is the same as -9+7 because the 2 minuses cancel each other. So all you have to do is -9 + 7 = -2. If you’re confused, try looking on a number line and count it.

What are the solutions of the equation x^4 + 95x^2 - 500= 0? Use factoring to solve
Artist 52 [7]
1) given x^4 + 95x^2 - 500

2) split in two factors with common factor term x^2: (x^2 + )(x^2 - )

3) find two numbers that add up 95 and their product is - 500:

=> 100*(-5) = - 500 and 100 - 5 = 95

=> (x^2 + 100)(x^2 - 5)

4) factor x^2 - 5 = (x + √5) (x - √5)

5) write the prime factors: (x^2 + 100) (x + √5) (x -√5)

6) find the solutions:

x^2 + 100 = 0 => not possible

x + √5 = 0 => x = - √5

x - √5 = 0 => x = √5


Answer: x = √5 and x = - √5

There are 20 20 coins in a jar. Each coin is either a nickel or a quarter. If one of the coins is selected at random, the probab
sveta [45]

Answer: there are 8 quarters in the jar

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of nickels that is inside the jar.

The total number of coins inside the jar is 20.

Probability is expressed as

Number of possible or favorable outcomes/total number of outcomes.

The probability of selecting a nickel is 0.6. This is expressed as

0.6 = x/20

Cross multiplying, it becomes

x = 20 × 0.6

x = 12

Since there are 12 nickels inside the jar, then the number of quarters would be

20 - 12 = 8

Multiply or Divide<br><br> (i need this for school tomorrow)
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Ok so here are the simple rules of doing it (very easy) cause I’m not doing it all so . when multiplying a power with The same base keep the base but add the exponents. Dividing, keep the base (if their the same if not then its already simplified same with multiplication) but SUBTRACT the exponents. Also keep the parenthesis if it’s a negative number base.

I’ll do a few.

11) a^10.           11b) 5^4

12) (-2)^2.        

13) 10^2.          13b) s^6

14) -4s^5(t^6) <- [Im not sure of this one)

15) x^3(y^3)
