Factorise x ^ 4 + 1/x ^ 4 - 3​

Mathematics
1 answer:
kondaur [170]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 1 and subtract 1, so that the expression won't change.

x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}-3=x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}}-3 +1 - 1\\\\=x^{4}+\frac{1}{x^{4}} - 2 + 1\\\\= (x^{2})^{2} + (\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}- 2 *x^{2}*\frac{1}{x^{2}} - 1\\\\

= (x^{2} -\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2} - 1\\\\=(x^{2}-\frac{1}{x^{2}})^{2}- 1^{2}              

(a² - b²) = (a+b)(a - b)

Here a = x² - (1/x²)  and b = 1

= [ (x^{2}-\frac{1}{x^{2}})+ 1 ] [ (x^{2} -\frac{1}{x^{2}} - 1 ]

A rectangular field with one side along a river is to be fenced. Suppose that no fence is needed along the river, the fence on t
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

a) Side Parallel to the river: 200 ft

b) Each of the other sides: 400 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Let L represent side parallel to the river and W represent width of fence.

The required fencing (F) would be F=L+2W.

We have been given that field must contain 80,000 square feet. This means area of field must be equal to 80,000.

LW=80,000...(1)

We are told that the fence on the side opposite the river costs $20 per foot, and the fence on the other sides costs $5 per foot, so total cost (C) of fencing would be C=20L+5(2W)\Rightarrow 20L+10W.

From equation (1), we will get:

L=\frac{80,000}{W}

Upon substituting this value in cost equation, we will get:

C=20(\frac{80,000}{W})+10W

C=\frac{1600,000}{W}+10W

C=1600,000W^{-1}+10W

To minimize the cost, we need to find critical points of the the derivative of cost function as:

C'=-1600,000W^{-2}+10

-1600,000W^{-2}+10=0

-1600,000W^{-2}=-10

-\frac{1600,000}{W^2}=-10

-10W^2=-1,600,000

W^2=160,000

\sqrt{W^2}=\pm\sqrt{160,000}  

W=\pm 400

Since width cannot be negative, therefore, the width of the fencing would be 400 feet.

Now, we will find the 2nd derivative as:

C''=-2(-1600,000)W^{-3}

C''=3200,000W^{-3}

C''=\frac{3200,000}{W^3}

Now, we will substitute W=400 in 2nd derivative as:

C''(400)=\frac{3200,000}{400^3}=\frac{3200,000}{64000000}=0.05

Since 2nd derivative is positive at W=400, therefore, width of 400 ft of the fencing will minimize the cost.

Upon substituting W=400 in L=\frac{80,000}{W}, we will get:

L=\frac{80,000}{400}\\\\L=200

Therefore, the side parallel to the river will be 200 feet.

1) What is the value of the expression 3 4 + 15.45 - 19.75 + 7.87?
Delvig [45]

Answer:

37.57

Step-by-step explanation:

34 + 15.45 - 19.75 + 7.87

34 + 15.45 = 49.45

49.45 - 19.75 + 7.87

49.45 + 7.87 = 57.32

57.32 - 19.75 = 37.57
