X^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0
(x^2 - 9)(x^2 + 4) = 0  - factor the left side
(x + 3)(x - 3)(x^2 + 4) = 0 - factor (x^2 - 9 as difference of squares)
x + 3 = 0    x - 3 = 0    x^2 + 4 = 0  Set each factor to 0 if any 0 the left side 0
x = -3         x = 3         x^2 = -4
                                   x = 2i or -2i
The roots are 3, -3, 2i, -2i  (Don't know if you need the imaginary roots but I gave you them anyway)

Well if the equation looks like this x^{4} -5 x^{2}-36=0 then you would have four quite long answers.
x=
2.98707487
-2.98707487
1.98055958i
-1.98055958i

The last two have and i at the end for imaginary. Those four numbers would be your answer.
Hope this helps! Don't forget Brainliest! :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To sketch a quadratic function we need two things:

1)  Nature of the curve

2) Vertex

3) y-intercept

The completing square form of the quadratic equation is:

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where,

a represents the nature of the graph it can be maximum or minimum , meaning, if a > 0 then minimum(u shaped curve/happy face) and if a < 0 then maximum(n shaped curve/sad face).

h represents the x-coordinate of the vertex.

k represents the y-coordinate of the vertex.

Now if we compare g(x) with our completing square form we get the following:

g(x)=(x-4)^2+12\\y=a(x-h)^2+k\\

When we simply compare the following we get ,

a = 1 , which means a > 0 since 1 is greater than 0 the nature of the curve will be minimum(happy face/u shaped)

h = 4, which means the x-coordinate of the vertex is 4

k = 12, which means the y-coordinate of the vertex is 12

Now we have the nature of the curve, we have the vertex now all we need is the y-intercept.

For y-intercept:

For y-intercept meaning at which point will the graph cross the y-axis(0 , y)

For that we expand the formula and turn it into the standard quadratic equation form by using the formula (a - b)^2

y=(x-4)^2+12\\y=((x)^2-2(x)(4)+(4)^2)+12\\y=x^2-8x+16+12\\y=x^2-8x+28\\

now we compare with the standard quadratic form:

y=ax^2+bx+c

here c is the y-intercept and while comparing we can see that c = 28 ,

so the curve cuts the y-axis at (0 , 28)

So we have all the three things that we need to graph our function.

So we just plot the y-intercept , the vertex , and join the dots. Just a tip draw a dotted line on the x-coordinate of the vertex because the vertex point is also called as a turning point where the graph goes in the opposite direction just like a mirror reflection. I attached 2 images you can check them out. One is handmade(i know i suck at drawing but still xD) , one is sketched by online graphing calculator.

A tower stand on a horizontal plane. P is the top and Q is the bottom of the tower. A and B are two points on this plane such th
pochemuha

Answer:

32√5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the right triangles PQA and PQB as well as the given right triangle QAB.

cot(PAQ) = 2/5 = QA/PQ

cot(PBQ) = 3/5 = QB/PQ

cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (2/5) / (3/5) = 2/3

cot(PAQ) / cot(PBQ) = (QA/PQ) / (QB/PQ) = QA / QB

QA / QB = 2/3

QA = (2/3) QB

QB = (3/2) QA

By the Pythagorean Theorem we have:

(QA)² + 32² = (QB)²

(QA)² + 32² = (3/2 QA)²

(QA)² + 1024 = (9/4) (QA)²

(5/4) (QA)² = 1024

(QA)² = (4/5)1024 = 4096/5

QA = 64/√5

Solve for PQ.

cot(PAQ) = QA/PQ

PQ = QA / cot(PAQ)

PQ = (64/√5) / (2/5) = 32√5

The height of the tower is 32√5.

Find the missing side.<br> Round to the nearest tenth.<br> For all 4 pics
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

1st pic) 17.8

2nd pic) 16.8

3rd pic) 9.1

4th pic) 13.5

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>1st pic:</u> cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}

(write equation) Cos 27 (cos 27 = 0.89) = \frac{x}{20}

(new equation) 0. 89 = \frac{x}{20}

(multiply 20 on both sides) 0.89 x 20 = \frac{x}{20} x 20

(solve) 17.8 = x

<u>2nd pic:</u> tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}

(write equation) tan 40 (tan 40 = 0.84) = \frac{32}{x}

(new equation) 0.84 =  \frac{32}{x}

(multiply 32 on both sides) 0.84 x 20 =  \frac{32}{x} x 20

(solve) 16.8 = x

<u>3rd pic:</u> cos = \frac{adjacent}{hypothenuse}

(write equation) cos 55 (cos 55 = 0.57) = \frac{16}{x}

(new equation) 0.57 = \frac{16}{x}

(multiply 16 on both sides) 0.57 x 16 = \frac{16}{x} x 16

(solve) 9.1 = x

<u>4th pic:</u> tan = \frac{adjacentx}{hypothenuse}

(write eqaution) tan 42 (tan 42 = 0.90) = \frac{x}{15}

(new equation) 0.90 = \frac{x}{15}

(multiply 15 on both sides) 0.90 x 15 = \frac{x}{15} x 15

(solve) 13.5 = x
