Solve the equation x^4+7x^2-18=0 and express each solution in a+bi form

Mathematics
1 answer:
maw [93]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The following are the solutions found for x:

+√2 + 0i

-√2 + 0i

0 + 3i

0 - 3i

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

x⁴ + 7x² - 18 = 0

Rewrite x4 as (x²)²

(x²)² + 7x² − 18 = 0

Let u = x²

u² + 7u − 18 = 0

Factorize:

u² + 9u - 2u - 18 = 0

u(u+9) -2(u+9) = 0

(u-2)(u+9) = 0

(x²-2)(x²+9) = 0

Seperate both equations:

x² - 2 = 0                     x² + 9 = 0

x = ±√2                       x = ±√-9

x = ±√2                       x = ± 3√-1

x = ±√2 + 0i                x = 0 ± 3i

8x + 6 - 2x = 34 x= ?
e-lub [12.9K]
8x + 6 - 2x = 34x

Simplify 8x +6 - 2x to 6x + 6:
6x + 6 = 34x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
6 = 34x- 6x

Simplify 34x - 6x to 28x:
6 = 28x

Divide both sides by 28:
\frac{6}{28} = x

Simplify \frac{6}{28} to \frac{3}{14} :
\frac{3}{14} = x

Now switch sides and the answer is:

x = \frac{3}{14}

The half-life of the isotope Osmium-183 is 12 hours. Choose the equation below that gives the remaining mass of Osmium-183 in gr
raketka [301]

The given equations are incomprehensible, I'm afraid...

You're given that osmium-183 has a half-life of 12 hours, so for some initial mass <em>M</em>₀, the mass after 12 hours is half that:

1/2 <em>M</em>₀ = <em>M</em>₀ exp(12<em>k</em>)

for some decay constant <em>k</em>. Solve for this <em>k</em> :

1/2 = exp(12<em>k</em>)

ln(1/2) = 12<em>k</em>

<em>k</em> = 1/12 ln(1/2) = - ln(2)/12

Now for some starting mass <em>M</em>₀, the mass <em>M</em> remaining after time <em>t</em> is given by

<em>M</em> = <em>M</em>₀ exp(<em>kt </em>)

So if <em>M</em>₀ = 590 g and <em>t</em> = 36 h, plugging these into the equation with the previously determined value of <em>k</em> gives

<em>M</em> = 590 exp(36<em>k</em>) = 73.75

so 73.75 ≈ 74 g of Os-183 are left.

Alternatively, notice that the given time period of 36 hours is simply 3 times the half-life of 12 hours, so 1/2³ = 1/8 of the starting amount of Os-183 is left:

590/8 = 73.75 ≈ 74

nida is buying a small storage box online. She sees a cube box with volume of 125cm^3. What is the length of each box edge?
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the length of each box edge

Let the length be s

Mathematically, the volume of a cube is s^3

Thus;

s^3 = 125

s^3 = 5^3

s = 5 cm
