8 0

Answer:

W = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Simplify 21/42 into 1/2

w/ 14 = 1/2

2) Multiply both sides by 14.

W = 1/2 · 14

3) Simplify

W = 14/29

4) Simplify (again)

W = 7

What are the solutions of the equation x^4-9x^2+8=0? Use u substitution to solve.

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The answer is the second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Let u=x^2.

$( {x}^{2} ) {}^{2} - 9( {x}^{2} ) + 8( {x}^{2} ) {}^{0}$

${u}^{2} - 9u + 8$

$(u - 1)(u - 8)$

$u = 1$

$u = 8$

Set this equal to x^2

${x}^{2} = 1$

$x = 1$

$x = - 1$

${x}^{2} = 8$

$x = 2 \sqrt{2}$

$x = - 2 \sqrt{2}$

Which of the following is the maximum value of the equation y = −x2 − x + 6?

Ratling [72]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y= -x²-x+6

When y is max, f'(x) = 0

f'(x) = -2x-1

Equating to 0,

-2x-1= 0

x= -1/2

Put the value of x in f(x)

y = -(-1/2)² -(-1/2) +6

= -1/4+1/2+6

= 6+1/2

y= 13/2
