<em>Correct expression: </em>
Answer:
x = 4
x = -4
x = 7i or 
x = -7i or 
Step-by-step explanation:

We do factorization of x^2 - 16
(x^2-16) = (x+4)(x-4)
(x+4)(x-4)(x^2+49) = 0
We require that any term in the multiplication to be zero to fulfil the requirement
so:
if x + 4 = 0 then (x+4)(x-4)(x^2+49) = 0
x = -4
if x - 4 = 0 then (x+4)(x-4)(x^2+49) = 0
x = 4
if (x^2+49) = 0 then (x+4)(x-4)(x^2+49) = 0
x^2 = -49
we have two roots:
If your course has already worked with complex number and the root of -1 then:
7i and -7i are solution as well
because 7i will be: 
and the same reasoning for -7i: 
Answer:
The equation for new function is 
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the absolute value parent function f(x) = |x| and this function is vertically compressed by a factor 3.
If we multiply the function with a constant (say a) then the parent function will get stretch/compressed vertically.
We have below conditions for vertical stretch and compression.
a > 1 => vertically stretch
0 < a < 1 => vertically compression
Hence, in order to vertical compression by a factor 3, we have to multiply the whole function by 1/3
Therefore, the equation for new function is

Answer:
6+x=24
Step-by-step explanation:
he has 6 more marbles than the blue
the amount of blue marbles is unknown
so let blue marble be x
we know that the total number of marbles is 24
so 6+x=24
