Factor the equation to give
By the zero product property, either x^2=0 or (3x^2+12-6x)=0 or both.
If x^2=0, then x=0
if (3x^2+12-6x)=0, we use the quadratic formula to solve for x
where x=1 ± √ (3) i
Answer: the roots of <span>3x^4+12x^2=6x^3 are {0 (multiplicity 2), 1+√3 i, 1-√3 i}</span>
Answer:
The answer is "The discriminant is positive"
Step-by-step explanation:
When the discriminant is positive there is two real solutions.
When the discriminant is equal to 0, there is one real solution.
When the discriminant is negative, there is no real number solutions.
Answer: it will take 25 months
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of months that it will take for the cost of both plans to be the same.
Cell phone Plan A costs $70 per month and comes with a free $500 phone. This means that the total cost of x months with plan A would be
70 × x = $70x
Cell phone plan B costs 50 per month but does not come with a phone. If you buy the 500 phone and choose plan B, then the total cost of x months with plan B would be
500 + 50 × x = 500 + 50x
To determine the number of months until your cost is the same as Plan A's, we would equate both costs. It becomes
70x = 500 + 50x
70x - 50x = 500
20x = 500
x = 500/20 =25
