Answer:

42

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we have the find the rate of change in the sequence.

To find this, we need to find how much the sequence is changing by.

We know from 60 to 51 is -9, so we know that our sequence is changing by -9.

To find our unknown number, we would subtract 9 from 51.

51 - 9 = 42

Our missing number in the sequence is 42.

We can check our answer by subtracting 9 from 42. This gives us our next number, which is 33.

42 would be your answer.

What are the solutions of the equation x^4 + 6x^2 + 5 = 0? Use u substitution to solve.
Radda [10]

Answer:

second option

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x^{4} + 6x² + 5 = 0

let u = x², then

u² + 6u + 5 = 0 ← in standard form

(u + 1)(u + 5) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for u

u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1

u + 5 = 0 ⇒ u = - 5

Change u back into terms of x, that is

x² = - 1 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-1} = ± i ( noting that \sqrt{-1} = i ), and

x² = - 5 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± \sqrt{-5} = ± \sqrt{5(-1)} = ± \sqrt{5} × \sqrt{-1} = ± i\sqrt{5}

Solutions are x = ± i and x = ± i\sqrt{5}

uranmaximum [27]
This is the concept of geometry, given that the angle 52 and (2x) have been subtended by a circle, then:
2x=2(52)
2x=104
solving for x we get:
x=104/2
x=52
the answer is x=52°
