X=number looked for
we have this equation:
-52(x-14)=x+3
we solve this equation:
-52x+728=x+3
-52x-x=3-728
-53x=-725
x=-725/-53=725/53 ≈13,68
Solution: 725/53
To check:
the difference between 725/53 and 14=725/53 - 14=(725-742)/53=-17/53
-52 times the diference is= -52(-17/53)=884/53
The number plus 3=725/53 + 3=(725+159)/53=884/53
Replace f(x) with 0 and swith the equation around to solve for x
x^4 - 32x^2 - 144 = 0
Factor the left side:
(x+6) (x-6) (x^2+4)
so far we have x+6 = 0, x = -6
x -6 = 0, x = 6
solve x^2 +4 = 0
x^2 = -4
x = sqrt(-4)
x = 2i, -21
The answer is B) 2i, 6, -6
