Answer:

The answer is (x-1)(x+1)(x-2)(x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to factor this expression should be to write the -5x^{2} as a difference:

x^{4}-5x^{2}+4

x^{4}-x^{2}-4x^{2}+4.

Then using factorization by agrupation you get:

x^{2}(x^{2}-1)-4 (x^{2}-1)

(x^{2}-1)(x^{2}-4).

Then using factorization by difference of two squares, using the formula:

(a^{2} -b^{2} )=(a-b)(a+b)

So, we get:

(x-1)(x+1)(x-2)(x+2).

Answer:

(x+1) (x-1) (x+2) (x-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Let u = x^2</u>

= u^2 - 5u + 4

<u>(Factor u^2 - 5u + 4)</u>

= (u-1) (u-4)

<u>Substitute back u = x^2</u>

= (x^2 -1 ) (x^2 - 4)

<u>Factor x^2 - 1 and x^2 -4</u>

= (x+1) (x-1) (x+2) (x-2)

Hope this helped... :)

Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. An air mattress is filled with 0. 55 moles

<h3>What is ideal gas law?</h3>

For an ideal gas(or a gas that behaves sufficiently like an ideal gas), we have the following relation:

\rm PV = nRT

where, the symbol denotes:

  • P = Pressure of the gas
  • V = volume of the gas
  • T = temperature of the gas
  • n = count of moles of the gas
  • R = universal gas constant = 8314.46261815324 L.Pa.K^{-1}.mol^{-1}

For the given case, the gas in the air mattress has following properties:

P = 3.5 kilopascals =3500 pascals

T =295 K

n = 0.55 moles

V = volume of gas in air mattress = volume of mattress (to evaluate).

Thus, using the ideal gas law, we get:

V = \dfrac{nRT}{P} = \dfrac{0.55 \times 8314.46261815324 \times 295}{3500} \approx 385.43 \: \rm liters

Thus, the volume of the air mattress in liters is 385.43 liters approx.

8046 / 2 = 4023 --> each week.

- now multiply that by 6.

4023 X 6 = 24,138 pennies.
