Factor 4x^4+7x^2-2=0

Mathematics

natulia [17]3 years ago

Answer:

(2x-1)(2x+1)(x^2+2) = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's a trick:  Use a temporary substitution for x^2.  Let p = x^2.  Then 4x^4+7x^2-2=0 becomes 4p^2 + 7p - 2 = 0.  

Find p using the quadratic formula:  a = 4, b = 7 and c = -2.  Then the discriminant is b^2-4ac, or (7)^2-4(4)(-2), or 49+32, or 81.  

Then the roots are:

       -7 plus or minus √81

p=   --------------------------------

                        8

p = 2/8 = 1/4 and p = -16/8 = -2.

Recalling that p = x^2, we let p = x^2 = 1/4, finding that x = plus or minus 1/2.  We cannot do quite the same thing with the factor p= -2 because the roots would be complex.

If x = 1/2 is a root, then 2x - 1 is a factor.  If x = -1/2 is a root, then 2x+1 is a factor.  

Let's multiply these two factors, (2x-1) and (2x+1), together, obtaining 4x^2 - 1.  Let's divide this 4x^2 - 1 into 4x^4+7x^2-2=0.  We get x^2+2 as quotient.

Then, 4x^4+7x^2-2=0 in factored form, is (2x-1)(2x+1)(x^2+2) = 0.

Evan wants to build a rectangular enclosure for his animals. One side of the pen will be against the barn, so he needs no fence
pentagon [3]

Answer:  A.   A=(1000-2w)*w      B. 250 feet

C.  125 000 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of rectangular is A=l*w    (1)

From another hand the length of the fence is 2*w+l=1000        (2)

L is not multiplied by 2, because the opposite side of the l is the barn,- we don't need in fence on that side.

Express l from (2):

l=1000-2w

Substitude l in (1) by 1000-2w

A=(1000-2w)*w        (3)   ( Part A. is done !)

Part B.

To find the width w  (Wmax) that corresponds to max of area A   we have to dind the roots of equation (1000-2w)w=0  ( we get it from (3))

w1=0  1000-2*w2=0

w2=500

Wmax= (w1+w2)/2=(0+500)/2=250 feet

The width that maximize area A is Wmax=250 feet

Part C.   Using (3) and the value of Wmax=250 we can write the following:

A(Wmax)=250*(1000-2*250)=250*500=125 000 square feets
