To solve this polynomial equation, we first factor the left side.

To factor x² + 8x + 12 = 0, look for factors of 12 that add to 8.

These factors are 6 and 2 so we have (x + 6)(x + 2) = 0.

So either x + 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0 and solving for

x in each equation, our answer is {-6, -2}.

B1 = 2
b2 = (b1)^2 + 1 = 2^2 + 1 = 5
b3 = (b2)^2 + 1 = 5^2 + 1 = 26

b4 = (b3)^2 + 1 = 26^2 + 1 = 676+1=<span>677</span>

A tetrahedron has 4 sides. If the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 are on the faces of the tetrahedron, what

Savatey [412]

Probability of randomly rolling a 3 is 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

It is given that a tetrahedron has 4 sides with 1,2,3 and 4 and is randomly rolled. We need to compute the probability of randomly rolling a 3.

Step 2:

Probability of an event = (Favorable outcomes) / (Total outcomes).

There are 4 total outcomes when the tetrahedron is rolled, these are the values 1 to 4.

The only favorable outcome is getting a 3

Probability of getting a 3 when the tetrahedron is randomly rolled = 1/4

Step 3:

Answer:

Probability of randomly rolling a 3 is 1/4

100 points! simplify write as a product compute

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

a) $\sqrt{61 - 24 \sqrt{5} } = - 4 + 3 \sqrt{5}$

b) $( \sqrt{ ( {c}^{2} - 1) ({b}^{2} - 1) } - {2 \sqrt{bc} }) (\sqrt{ ( {c}^{2} - 1) ({b}^{2} - 1) } + {2 \sqrt{bc} } )$

c) $\frac{ \sqrt{9 - 4 \sqrt{5} } }{2 - \sqrt{5} } = - 1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to simplify

$\sqrt{61 - 24 \sqrt{5} }$

Let :

$\sqrt{61 - 24 \sqrt{5} } = a - b \sqrt{5}$

Square both sides of the equation:

$(\sqrt{61 - 24 \sqrt{5} } )^{2} = ({a - b \sqrt{5} })^{2}$

Expand the RHS;

$61 - 24 \sqrt{5} = {a}^{2} - 2ab \sqrt{5} + 5 {b}^{2}$

Compare coefficients on both sides:

${a}^{2} + 5 {b}^{2} = 61 - - - (1)$

$- 24 = - 2ab \\ ab = 12 \\ b = \frac{12}{b} - - -( 2)$

Solve the equations simultaneously,

$\frac{144}{ {b}^{2} } + 5 {b}^{2} = 61$

$5 {b}^{4} - 61 {b}^{2} + 144 = 0$

Solve the quadratic equation in b²

${b}^{2} = 9 \: or \: {b}^{2} = \frac{16}{5}$

This implies that:

$b = \pm3 \: or \: b = \pm \frac{4 \sqrt{5} }{5}$

When b=-3,

$a = - 4$

Therefore

$\sqrt{61 - 24 \sqrt{5} } = - 4 + 3 \sqrt{5}$

We want to rewrite as a product:

${b}^{2} {c}^{2} - 4bc - {b}^{2} - {c}^{2} + 1$

as a product:

We rearrange to get:

${b}^{2} {c}^{2} - {b}^{2} - {c}^{2} + 1- 4bc$

We factor to get:

${b}^{2} ( {c}^{2} - 1) - ({c}^{2} - 1)- 4bc$

Factor again to get;

$( {c}^{2} - 1) ({b}^{2} - 1)- 4bc$

We rewrite as difference of two squares:

$(\sqrt{( {c}^{2} - 1) ({b}^{2} - 1) })^{2} - ( {2 \sqrt{bc} })^{2}$

We factor the difference of square further to get;

$( \sqrt{ ( {c}^{2} - 1) ({b}^{2} - 1) } - {2 \sqrt{bc} }) (\sqrt{ ( {c}^{2} - 1) ({b}^{2} - 1) } + {2 \sqrt{bc} } )$

c) We want to compute:

$\frac{ \sqrt{9 - 4 \sqrt{5} } }{2 - \sqrt{5} }$

Let the numerator,

$\sqrt{9 - 4 \sqrt{5} } = a - b \sqrt{5}$

Square both sides of the equation;

$9 - 4 \sqrt{5} = {a}^{2} - 2ab \sqrt{5} + 5 {b}^{2}$

Compare coefficients in both equations;

${a}^{2} + 5 {b}^{2} = 9 - - - (1)$

and

$- 2ab = - 4 \\ ab = 2 \\ a = \frac{2}{b} - - - - (2)$

Put equation (2) in (1) and solve;

$\frac{4}{ {b}^{2} } + 5 {b}^{2} = 9$

$5 {b}^{4} - 9 {b}^{2} + 4 = 0$

$b = \pm1$

When b=-1, a=-2

This means that:

$\sqrt{9 - 4 \sqrt{5} } = - 2 + \sqrt{5}$

This implies that:

$\frac{ \sqrt{9 - 4 \sqrt{5} } }{2 - \sqrt{5} } = \frac{ - 2 + \sqrt{5} }{2 - \sqrt{5} } = \frac{ - (2 - \sqrt{5)} }{2 - \sqrt{5} } = - 1$
