I'm sorry but I know the answer is deffinetly c or d
Answer:
see attached
Step-by-step explanation:
A polynomial is the sum of terms with variables having positive integer exponents. Coefficient numbers need not be integers.
The term 3/x^4 = 3x^-4 is not such a term, so the expression containing it is not a polynomial.
<span>The pair of integers that I chose are:
(a) sum is –3
5 + (-8) = -3
(b) difference is –5
2 - 7 = -5
(c) difference is 2
14 -12 = 2
(d) sum is 0
2 - 2 = 0</span>
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
because it is the only number without a variable or something next to it.
First, you need to rewrite the expression into binomial form, so you are working with two terms (as you world with a quadratic):
(x²)²-3(x²)-4=0
Now, you can place the x²s into brackets as the coefficient is now 1:
(x² )(x² )
Next, find out two numbers that add together to give you -3 and multiply to give -4 (these are the leftover integers after removing the x²s). These two numbers are -4 and 1.
Place the -4 and 1 into the brackets:
(x²-4)(x²+1)=0
Notice that the x²-4 is a difference of two squares, so can be further factorised into (x+2)(x-2)
This leaves you with a final factorisation of:
(x+2)(x-2)(x²+1)=0
Now we handle each bracket individually to obtain our four solutions for x:
x+2=0
x=-2
x-2=0
x=2
x²+1=0
x²=1
