Answer: a) x = 5 or -1 b) x = √3+2
c) x = -1/2 or -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
a) (x − 2)² = 9
First step is to take the square root of both sides to eliminate the square
√ (x − 2)² = √9
x-2 = +-3
x = +3+2
x = 5 and;
x = -3+2
x = -1
x = 5 or -1
b) 3(x-2)² = 9
First we divide both sides by 3 to get;
(x-2)² = 9/3
(x-2)² = 3
Second step is to take the square root of both sides to eliminate the square
√(x-2)² = √3
x-2 = √3
x = √3+2
c) 6 = 24(x+1)²
Dividing both sides by 24, we have
6/24 = (x+1)²
1/4 = (x+1)²
Taking the square root of both sides we have
√1/4 = √(x+1)²
= +-1/2 = x+1
x = +1/2-1 = -1/2 and;
x = -1/2-1 = -3/2
x = -1/2 or -3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
x⁴ − 5x³ + 11x² − 25x + 30
x⁴ − 5x³ + 6x² + 5x² − 25x + 30
x² (x² − 5x + 6) + 5 (x² − 5x + 6)
(x² + 5) (x² − 5x + 6)
(x² + 5) (x − 2) (x −3)
