1) given x^4 + 95x^2 - 500
2) split in two factors with common factor term x^2: (x^2 + )(x^2 - )
3) find two numbers that add up 95 and their product is - 500:
=> 100*(-5) = - 500 and 100 - 5 = 95
=> (x^2 + 100)(x^2 - 5)
4) factor x^2 - 5 = (x + √5) (x - √5)
5) write the prime factors: (x^2 + 100) (x + √5) (x -√5)
6) find the solutions:
x^2 + 100 = 0 => not possible
x + √5 = 0 => x = - √5
x - √5 = 0 => x = √5
Answer: x = √5 and x = - √5

Answer:
Yes, it will fit snugly in a 90º corner
Step-by-step explanation:
To do this, we simply need to check if the given sides of the shelf is right-angled.
So, we have:
To check for right-angle triangle, we make use of:
This gives:
This shows that the given sides of the shelf is a right-angled triangle.
Hence, it will fit the wall
One third is a rational number....since it can be written in p/q form(1/3)
