Answer:

Romance books ordered =   65

Mystery books ordered  =  775

Science Fiction book  Ordered ≈ 116

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of books ordered in the library = 956

Let us assume the number of romance books ordered = m

⇒Number of mystery books ordered = 12 x (Number of romance books)

                                                                =  12 x(m)  = 12 m

Also,number of science books ordered = 52 +(Number of romance books)

                                                                    = 52  +   m

Now, according to the question:

Number of { romance books + mystery books + science books} = 956

or, m  + ( 12 m ) +  (52  + m)  = 956

or, 14 m = 956 - 52

or, 14 m = 904

⇒ m =  904/ 14 =  64.6

So, the number of romance books ordered = 64.6 ≈  65

Number  of mystery books ordered  = 12 m =  12 x 64.5  = 775

Number of science fiction book  ordered = = 52 + m =  116.6 ≈ 116

Factor 4x^4+7x^2-2=0
natulia [17]

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.
