ANSWER

x =  \: x =  \pm \:  \sqrt{2} i \: or \: x =  \pm \: i

EXPLANATION

{x}^{4}  + 3 {x}^{2}  + 2 = 0

{ ({x}^{2}) }^{2}  + 3( {x}^{2})  + 2 = 0

Let

u  =  {x}^{2}

Then the equation becomes:

{u}^{2}  + 3u + 2 = 0

{u}^{2}  + 3u + 2 = 0

{u}^{2}  + 2u +u +  2 = 0

Factor:

{u}(u + 2)+ 1(u +  2) = 0

(u + 1)(u +  2) = 0

u =  - 1

or

u =  - 2

This implies that

{x}^{2}  =  - 1 \implies \: x =  \pm \: i

or

{x}^{2}  =  - 2 \implies \: x =  \pm \:  \sqrt{2} i

Jenna is making hamburgers. She puts sauce on every 2nd burger, pickles on every 3rd burger, and onions on every 5th burger.How
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

3

Step-by-step explanation:

find the lowest common multiple of 2, 3, and 5.

That is 30.

So every 30th burger will have all 3 condiments.

100/30 = 3 and 10 left over.

We only care about the 3

Does the table show a direct proportional relationship? If so, what is the constant of proportionality?
lesantik [10]

Answer:

C. Yes, 3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there is a relationship of direct proportionality for every ordered pair of the table, then the constant of proportionality must the same for every ordered pair. The constant of proportionality (k) is described by the following expression:

k = \frac{y}{x} (1)

Where:

x - Input.

y - Output.

If we know that (x_{1}, y_{1}) = (13, 45.5), (x_{2}, y_{2}) = (14, 49) and (x_{3}, y_{3}) = (15, 52.5), then the constants of proportionalities of each ordered pair are, respectively:

k_{1} = \frac{y_{1}}{x_{1}}

k_{1} = \frac{45.5}{13}

k_{1} = \frac{7}{2}

k_{2} = \frac{y_2}{x_2}

k_{2} = \frac{49}{14}

k_{2} = \frac{7}{2}

k_{3} = \frac{y_{3}}{x_{3}}

k_{3} = \frac{52.5}{15}

k_{3} = \frac{7}{2}

Since k_{1} = k_{2} = k_{3}, the constant of proportionality is 3.5.
