Solution:

1) Rewrite it in the form {a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}, where a={d}^{2} and b=4
{({d}^{2})}^{2}-2({d}^{2})(4)+{4}^{2}

2) Use Square of Difference: {(a-b)}^{2}={a}^{2}-2ab+{b}^{2}
{({d}^{2}-4)}^{2}

3) Rewrite {d}^{2}-4​ in the form {a}^{2}-{b}^{2}​​ , where a=d and b=2
{({d}^{2}-{2}^{2})}^{2}
​​
4) Use Difference of Squares: {a}^{2}-{b}^{2}=(a+b)(a-b)
​{((d+2)(d-2))}^{2}

5) Use Multiplication Distributive Property: {(xy)}^{a}={x}^{a}{y}^{a}
{(d+2)}^{2}{(d-2)}^{2}

Answer:

( d - 2 )*( d + 2 )*( d - 2 )*( d + 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:-

- The quartic expression is given as follows with the independent variable as "d".

                                   d^4 - 8d^2 + 16

Find:-

What is the completely factored form of the given quartic expression.

Solution:-

- The expression can be re-written in a quadratic formulation. " Reducible quadratic ". We will make substitution y = d^2.

                                   (y)^2 - 8(y) + 16

- We can use the substituted expression and find the factors. So possible factor values of (16) are:

                                    8*2 = 16 , 10 , 6

                                    -4*-4 = 16 , -8, 0

-  So we will use the pair ( -4 , -4 ) as the common factor:

                                    ( y - 4 )*( y - 4 ) =  (y)^2 - 8(y) + 16

- Now use back-substitution of y = d^2, we have:

                                   ( d^2 - 4 ) * ( d^2 - 4 )

- We can use the perfect square to express the form as:

                                   ( a^2 - b^2 ) = ( a + b )*( a - b )

                                   ( d - 2 )*( d + 2 )*( d - 2 )*( d + 2 )

Solve -44-7k=12+k answer quick please
nirvana33 [79]

Answer:

k = -7

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for k:

-7 k - 44 = k + 12

Subtract k from both sides:

(-7 k - k) - 44 = (k - k) + 12

-7 k - k = -8 k:

-8 k - 44 = (k - k) + 12

k - k = 0:

-8 k - 44 = 12

Add 44 to both sides:

(44 - 44) - 8 k = 44 + 12

44 - 44 = 0:

-8 k = 12 + 44

12 + 44 = 56:

-8 k = 56

Divide both sides of -8 k = 56 by -8:

(-8 k)/(-8) = 56/(-8)

(-8)/(-8) = 1:

k = 56/(-8)

The gcd of 56 and -8 is 8, so 56/(-8) = (8×7)/(8 (-1)) = 8/8×7/(-1) = 7/(-1):

k = 7/(-1)

Multiply numerator and denominator of 7/(-1) by -1:

Answer: k = -7
