Answer:

x = 1 or -1

x = -2 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x4 - 5x2 + 4 = 0

x4 - 4 x2 - x2 + 4 =0

x2 ( x2 - 4 ) - 1 ( x2 - 4 ) = 0

( x2 - 1 ) ( x2 - 4 ) =

x2 - 1 = 0 or x2 - 4 = 0

x2 = 1 x2 = 4

x = 1 or -1 x = -2 or 2

Alexus [3.1K]

The answer is A.0.5 moles

a mole of sodium chloride weighs approximately 58 grams: 1 M - 58 g
you have 29 grams of sodium chloride, how many moles of sodium chloride do you have: xM - 29g

1 M : 58g = x : 29 g
x = 1 M : 58g * 29 g = 0.5 M

What are the possible rational zeros for f(x)=3x^4+x^3-13x^2-2x+9?

GenaCL600 [577]

ANSWER

The correct answer is D.

EXPLANATION

The given function is

$f(x) = 3 {x}^{4} + {x}^{3} - 13 {x}^{2} - 2x + 9$

According to the rational roots theorem, the possible rational roots of f(x) are all factors of 9 expressed over all the factors of 3,

$\pm \frac{1}{3},\pm \frac{3}{3},\pm \frac{9}{3},\pm9$

$\pm \frac{1}{3},\pm 1,\pm 3,\pm9$

The correct answer is D.
