Answer:
(2x-1)(2x+1)(x^2+2) = 0
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's a trick: Use a temporary substitution for x^2. Let p = x^2. Then 4x^4+7x^2-2=0 becomes 4p^2 + 7p - 2 = 0.
Find p using the quadratic formula: a = 4, b = 7 and c = -2. Then the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or (7)^2-4(4)(-2), or 49+32, or 81.
Then the roots are:
-7 plus or minus √81
p= --------------------------------
8
p = 2/8 = 1/4 and p = -16/8 = -2.
Recalling that p = x^2, we let p = x^2 = 1/4, finding that x = plus or minus 1/2. We cannot do quite the same thing with the factor p= -2 because the roots would be complex.
If x = 1/2 is a root, then 2x - 1 is a factor. If x = -1/2 is a root, then 2x+1 is a factor.
Let's multiply these two factors, (2x-1) and (2x+1), together, obtaining 4x^2 - 1. Let's divide this 4x^2 - 1 into 4x^4+7x^2-2=0. We get x^2+2 as quotient.
Then, 4x^4+7x^2-2=0 in factored form, is (2x-1)(2x+1)(x^2+2) = 0.

Answer:
17 nickles !
Step-by-step explanation:
First, identify the variables:
n = amount of nickels
d = amount of dimes
Next, setup the equations based on what you know. The first equation is:
n + d = 28
For the second equation, we know that a dime is worth 10¢ and a nickel is 5¢, so it should be:
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95
This a three-step answer:
In one formula (you can use any of them; most people use the simplest one), single out the variable on one side
Apply the first formula into the second formula, and solve it to get the value of one variable
Apply the answer from the second formula into the first formula, and solve it to get the value of the other variable
======
Step One:
n + d = 28
n + d - d = 28 - d
n = 28 - d
Step Two:
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95
(0.05 * (28 - d)) + 0.10d = 1.95
1.40 - 0.05d + 0.10d = 1.95
1.40 + 0.05d = 1.95
1.40 - 1.40 + 0.05d = 1.95 - 1.40
0.05d = 0.55
d = 11
Step Three:
n = 28 - d
n = 28 - 11
n = 17
======
Your answer should be 17 nickels and 11 dimes.
You can double check by applying the variables into both formulas.
n + d = 28
17 + 11 = 28
28 = 28
0.05n + 0.10d = 1.95
(0.05 * 17) + (0.10 * 11) = 1.95
0.85 + 1.10 = 1.95
1.95 = 1.95
I hope this helped.
