Question

4x^4+12x^2+8 solve ✖➖➕➗​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 4x4 + -12x2 + 8 = 0 Reorder the terms: 8 + -12x2 + 4x4 = 0 Solving 8 + -12x2 + 4x4 = 0 Solving for variable 'x'. Factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), '4'. 4(2 + -3x2 + x4) = 0 Factor a trinomial. 4((1 + -1x2)(2 + -1x2)) = 0 Factor a difference between two squares. 4(((1 + x)(1 + -1x))(2 + -1x2)) = 0 Ignore the factor 4.

Subproblem 1

Set the factor '(2 + -1x2)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 2 + -1x2 = 0 Solving 2 + -1x2 = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2' to each side of the equation. 2 + -2 + -1x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 2 + -2 = 0 0 + -1x2 = 0 + -2 -1x2 = 0 + -2 Combine like terms: 0 + -2 = -2 -1x2 = -2 Divide each side by '-1'. x2 = 2 Simplifying x2 = 2 Take the square root of each side: x = {-1.414213562, 1.414213562}

Subproblem 2

Set the factor '(1 + x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + x = 0 Solving 1 + x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + x = 0 + -1 x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 x = -1 Simplifying x = -1

Subproblem 3

Set the factor '(1 + -1x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve: Simplifying 1 + -1x = 0 Solving 1 + -1x = 0 Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-1' to each side of the equation. 1 + -1 + -1x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0 0 + -1x = 0 + -1 -1x = 0 + -1 Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1 -1x = -1 Divide each side by '-1'. x = 1 Simplifying x = 1

Solution

x = {-1.414213562, 1.414213562, -1, 1}
