Mathematics
1 answer:
dezoksy [38]3 years ago
6 0

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

1) A cyclist travels a distance of 90 miles in 5 hours. What
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: <u>Speed</u> is distance an object travelled per unit time.

It is represented by letter v and can assume various units.

1) v=\frac{distance}{time}=\frac{d}{t}

v=\frac{90}{5}

v = 18 miles per hour

Her average speed is 18 mph.

2) Rearraging formula for distance:

d = v.t

d = 70 * 4

d = 280 miles

You would travel 280 miles.

3)  v=\frac{d}{t}

v=\frac{315}{6}

v = 52.5 mph

My average speed is 52.5 mph.

4) Rearranging formula to determine time:

t=\frac{d}{v}

t=\frac{210}{90}

t = 2.34 hours

It will take 2 hours and half to arrive in Leeds. So, we will be expected to arrive at 12:04.

5) The unit change but the way of calculating time is the same.

t=\frac{2000}{4}

t = 500 s

or t = 8.34 minutes

It will take, for an athlete to run 2000m, 8.34 minutes.

6) a) All units must match, so for a speed in mph:

45 minutes is 0.75 hours. Total time is 8.75 hours.

v=\frac{420}{8.75}

v = 560 mph

The average speed is 560 mph.

b) t=\frac{d}{v}

t=\frac{420}{63}

t = 6.67 hours

Sam will take 6.67 hours to covered the distance.

weeeeeb [17]
Half one is 1/2;
half three is 3/2;
Thus, if f(x) represents annual growth, f(x)/2 shows it every half-year, like this:
\dfrac{f(x)}{2} = \dfrac{15\cdot 2^x}{2} \\  \\ &#10;\dfrac{f(x)}{2} = \dfrac{15}{2}\cdot 2^x

Written in plain text: f(x)=15/2*2^x

An office building has two elevators. One elevator starts out on the 4th floor, 35 feet above the ground, as it’s defending at a
iren2701 [21]

The system of equations are y = 35 - 2.2x and y = 1.7x

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that, office building has two elevators.

<em><u>One elevator starts out on the 4th floor, 35 feet above the ground, as it’s descending at a rate of 2.2 feet per second</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of seconds for which the elevator is descending

Therefore, for "x" seconds the descended feet is 2.2x feet

The elevator is at 4 th floor, 35 feet above ground

Therefore, from 35 feet, the elevator has descended 2.2x feet for "x" seconds

Let "y" be the final position of elevator after "x" seconds

Therefore,

y = 35 - 2.2x

<em><u>The other elevator starts out at ground level and is rising at a rate of 1.7 feet per second</u></em>

Here, the elevator is rising at a rate of 1.7 feet per second

Therefore, for "x" seconds, the elevator has raised 1.7x feet

Here the elevator is at ground level, therefore

y = 1.7x

Thus the system of equations are y = 35 - 2.2x and y = 1.7x
