Answer:

x = -2i and x = 2i

x = 3 and x = - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x^4 - 5x^2 - 36 = 0

let u = x^2 and substitute

we have:

u^2 - 5u - 36 = 0

(u - 9)(u + 4) = 0

u = 9 and u = - 4

substitute back for u

x^2 = 9

x = 3 and x = - 3

x^2 = -4 -- i am going to assume you've learned imaginary numbers; otherwise, you cannot take the square root of a negative number.

x = -2i and x = 2i

Paper he needs = total surface area

So to break it down into 2D shapes, that prism has 2 2D triangles, and 3 2D rectangles of different sizes.

The triangles are the same size, since you have 2, just multiply 2 by the formula for the area of a triangle: 1/2(base)(height) which is 2x1/2(5)(12) = 60

Next you'll need the area of all the rectangles: length x width. which would be (5 x 5) + (13 x 5) + (12 x 5) = 150

So the total amount of wrapping paper he'd need is 150mi^2

Answer:

−13x+18

Step-by-step explanation:

=−4x+(−9)(x)+(−9)(−2)

=−4x+−9x+18

Combine Like Terms:

=−4x+−9x+18

=(−4x+−9x)+(18)

=−13x+18

The length of a rectangle is 3 1/6 cm longer than the width. The perimeter of the rectangle is 15 1/3 cm. What are the width and

ahrayia [7]

The width of rectangle is $2\frac{1}{4}$ cm and length is $5\frac{5}{12}$ cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

Width of rectangle = w

Length of rectangle = $w+3\frac{1}{6}=w+\frac{19}{6}$

Perimeter of rectangle = $15\frac{1}{3}=\frac{46}{3}$ cm

Perimeter = 2(Length + Width)

$\frac{46}{3}=2(w+\frac{19}{6}+w)\\\\\frac{46}{3}=2(2w+\frac{19}{6})\\\\\frac{46}{3}=4w+\frac{19}{3}\\\\4w+\frac{19}{3}=\frac{46}{3}\\\\4w=\frac{46}{3}-\frac{19}{3}\\\\\ 4w=\frac{46-19}{3}\\\\4w=\frac{27}{3}\\\\4w=9$
