So focusing on x^4 + 5x^2 - 36, we will be completing the square. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -36x^4 and a sum of 5x^2? That would be 9x^2 and -4x^2. Replace 5x^2 with 9x^2 - 4x^2: 
Next, factor x^4 + 9x^2 and -4x^2 - 36 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses: 
Now you can rewrite this as
, however this is not completely factored. With (x^2 - 4), we are using the difference of squares, which is
. Applying that here, we have
. x^4 + 5x^2 - 36 is completely factored.
Next, focusing now on 2x^2 + 9x - 5, we will also be completing the square. What two terms have a product of -10x^2 and a sum of 9x? That would be 10x and -x. Replace 9x with 10x - x: 
Next, factor 2x^2 + 10x and -x - 5 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity on the inside: 
Now you can rewrite the equation as
. 2x^2 + 9x - 5 is completely factored.
<h3><u>Putting it all together, your factored expression is

Answer:
,
,
and 
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x represents the number of hours Zoe spent running on her wheel and y represents the number of hours spent scratching her cage.
Julie was awoke for at least an hour running on her exercise wheel and scratching the of her cage.
⇒ 
She ran on her wheel at least twice as long as she scratched at the corners of her cage.
⇒ 
Also, She spent more than 1/4 hour running on her wheel.
⇒ 
And, we know that number of hours can not be negative.
⇒
Therefore, the complete system of inequality which shows the given situation is,
,
and
, 
Note: the feasible region ( covered by the given system) is shown in the below graph.
