Solve \ x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0

To solve this equation , we need to write it in quadratic form

ax^2+bx+c=0

To get the equation in quadratic form we replace x^2 with u

x^2 = u

x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0 can be written as

(x^2)^2 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0, Replace u for x^2

So equation becomes

u^2 - 17u + 16 = 0

Now we factor the left hand side

-16  and -1  are the two factors whose product is +16  and sum is -17

(u-16) (u-1) = 0

u -16 = 0  so u=16

u-1 =0  so u=1

WE assume u = x^2, Now we replace u with x^2

u = 16 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =16

Now take square root on both sides , x= +4  and x=-4

u = 1 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =1

Now take square root on both sides , x= +1  and x=-1

So zeros of the function are -4, -1, 1, 4

Given a line segment with endpoints A(16, 8) and B(1, 3) what are the coordinates of the
blondinia [14]

Answer:

The line segment partitioned two-fifths from A to B is (10,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

First point from A to B is (16,8)

than find the difference between A to B i.e B - A

(1,3)-(16,8) = (-15,-5)

To measure the (2/5) difference we will multiply (-15,-5) with  (2/5) which is equal to (-6,-2)

Now Add the difference to the first coordinate (point A) gives

Point of division = (16,8)+(-6,-2)

Point of division = (16-6, 8-2)

Point of division = (10,6)
