Question

Can this expression be simplified? If not, explain why. WILL MARK BRAINLIEST.

Answer 1

Answer:

yes

Step-by-step explanation:

see attached graph - there are two real roots for y=2x^4-6x^2+10x-7

so 2x^4-6x^2+10x-7 can be expressed as:

(x - root1)(x - root2)(2x^2+Bx+C)

Answer 2

Answer:

Yes, it can be.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using solver program, the expression 2x^4-6x^2+10x-7 has:

two real roots at x≈-2.3888 and x≈1.1424

and

two complex roots at x≈0.62321 - 0.94559 i and x≈0.62321 + 0.94559 i

Because it has two real roots, the expression can be simplified.
