5x⁴ -30x² - 135

Factorizing 5x⁴ -30x² - 135,   Factoring out 5

5( x⁴ -6x² - 27)..............................(a)

Factoring ( x⁴ -6x² - 27). 

x⁴ -6x² - 27 = (x²)² -6(x²) - 27

Let y = x²

Therefore  (x²)² -6(x²) - 27 = y² -6y - 27

Therefore (a)  is the same as:  

5( x⁴ -6x² - 27) = 5(y² -6y - 27)...........(b)

y² -6y - 27 is a quadratic expression

Multiplying first and last terms = y² * -27 = -27y²

We think of two factors that multiply up to -27y², and add up to -6y which is the middle term of the quadratic expression.

The factors are :     -9y and +3y

Check:  (-9y)*(+3y) = -27y²,    +3y + (-9y) = 3y -9y = -6y 

In the expression y² -6y - 27, we replace the middle term -6y with (3y - 9y)

y² -6y - 27

y² +3y - 9y- 27

y(y+3) - 9(y+3)

(y+3)(y-9)

 y² -6y - 27 =  (y+3)(y-9) ........................(c)    

Recall y = x²

(y+3)(y-9) = (x²+3)(x²-9) ........................(d)

But (x²-9) is difference of two squares = x² - 3² = (x-3)(x+3)

(x²+3)(x²-9)

(x²+3)(x-3)(x+3) ...........................(e)

Therefore from (b)

5(x⁴ -6x² - 27) = 5(y² -6y - 27)

5(y² -6y - 27) = 5(y+3)(y-9)  =  5(x²+3)(x²-9) = 5(x²+3)(x-3)(x+3)

So 5x⁴ -30x² - 135  is =  5(x²+3)(x-3)(x+3)

I hope this helps.

galina1969 [7]
Raymond and Shauna must convince at least 5 more city council member. Because if every 2/6 members agree with the idea, then there would be 8 people out 24 that already agree with the idea. So if you have already 8 members then to make 13, you just need 5 (8 + 5=13) more people to 13.

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

All payments will be made at the end of the year by using the present value of inflows

Step-by-step explanation:

Present Value Of Inflows = Cash Inflow × Present Value Of Discounting Factor (Rate%,Time Period)

Present Value Of Inflows = 15000/1.037 + 25000/1.037^{2} + 40000/1.037^{3} + 60000/1.037^{4}

Present Value Of Inflows = 125466.3
