Answer:

4y^2 - 21y + 20 = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

As (4x^4 - 21x^2 + 20=0) being a biquadratic equation, meaning it is a 4-degree equation without the terms of degree 1 and 3.

To solve this particular case you only need to replace the variables of degree 4 and 2 for a new variable of degree 2 and 1 and solve it as regular quadratic equation and then undo the change.

* Using a new variable we can rewrite the equation:

Let y be the new variable;

y= x^2, then y^2= x^4

Then we have;

4y^2- 21y+20=0

Solve for y and then find X which will be the roots for the biquadratic equation.

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

The slope is 3 and the line is rising.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the slope m of a line given two points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂,y₂) we can use the formula:

m = (y₂-y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

In this problem we have the points (6,2) and (7,5), substituting these values in the formula we get:

m = (5 - 2) / (7 - 6) = 3/1 = 3

Therefore, the slope is 3.

Given that the slope is positive we can conclude that the line through the points rises.
