Remark
You'll see it a whole lot easier if you make a substitution so that it looks like something you have already seen
Solution
let y = x^2
x^4 = x^2 * x^2
x^4 = y * y
x^4 = y^2
Now the expression becomes
y^2 + 8 y - 9 = z
(y + 9)(y - 1) = z
Now put the x^2 back in.
(x^2 + 9) ( x^2 - 1) = z
x^2 - 1 becomes x + 1 and x - 1. At this level x^2 + 9 can't be factored.
Answer
(x^2 + 9) (x + 1)(x - 1)
When one number is negative and the other is positive.
Five hundred and sixty two divided by seven would be,
=80.28
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
Put brackets around the first two tems.
y = (x^2 - 8x) + 29
Take 1/2 coefficient of the linear term -8. Square that result. Add it inside the brackets.
1/2 (- 8) = - 4
(- 4)^2 = 16
y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) + 29
Subtract 16 outside the brackets.
y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) + 29 - 16
Do the subtraction
y = (x^2 - 8x + 16) + 13
Represent what is inside the brackets as a square.
y = ( x - 4)^2 + 13
The answer is A
