Because this is a fourth degree that will be tricky to factor as it is, we will do a u substitution. Let . We can now rewrite that polynomial in terms of u:
. Filling into the quadratic formula we have
. Simplifying down
and
or
. That means that u = 8 or u = -1. But don't forget that we let
, so we have to put x-squared back in for u. That gives us
which simplifies down to
. That also gives us
. When we take the square root of -1, we have to use the fact that -1 = i^2, so we sub that in to get
. All in all, your solutions are as follows:
which is choice b.
Answer:
(1,6)
x = 1, y = 6
See attachment for the graph
Step-by-step explanation:
y=x+5
y=-x+7
Using the elimination process
y=x+5
- y=-x+7
----------------
0=2x-2
2=2x
1=x
x=1
Substitute x = 1
y = x + 5
y = 1 + 5
y = 6
