Let a = x^2 + 4. Rewrite the following equation in terms of a and set it equal to zero. ( x^2 + 4 )^2 +32 = 12x^2 + 48

1 answer:

4 0

Answer: In the resulting equation: " a² - 12a + 32 = 0 " ;
________________________________________________________
The "coefficient" of the "a" term is: " - 12" .
________________________________________________________
The "constant" is: " 32 " .

Explanation:
________________________________________________________

Let: "a = x² + 4 " .

Given: (x² + 4)² + 32 = 12x² + 48 ;
______________________________________________________

Factor: "12x² + 48" into " (x² + 4) " ;

"12x² + 48" = 12 (x² + 4) " ;
______________________________________________________

Given: (x² + 4)² + 32 = 12x² + 48 ;

rewrite as; "a² + 32 = 12a " ;

Subtract "12a" from each side of the equation;

"a² + 32 - 12a = 12a - 12a ;

to get:

" a² - 12a + 32 = 0 " .
___________________________________________________
The coefficient of the "a" term; that is:

The "coefficient" of " -12a" ; is: "- 12" .

The constant is: "32" .

I WILL GIVE A BRANLIEST! What is the graph of the functions? y=2*2^x y=-2*5^x

tekilochka [14]

For this case what you should know is that both functions are of the potential type.
We have then that
y = 2 * 2 ^ x
This function grows exponentially upwards.
y = -2 * 5 ^ x
This function grows exponentially downwards.

Given csc A= 37/12 and that angle A is in Quadrant I, find the exact value of sec A in

vredina [299]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Below is the pic of how this would be set up in order to determine what it is you are looking for. The angle is set in QI, and since csc A is the reciprocal of sin, the ratio is hypotenuse over side opposite. Solve for the missing side using Pythagorean's Theorem:

$37^2=12^2+b^2$ and
