Get into ax²+bx+c=0 form
subsitute u=x⁴
x⁸-3x⁴+2=0
(x⁴)²-3(x⁴)+2=0
u²-3u+2=0
factor
(u-2)(u-1)=0
set to zero
u-2=0
u=2
u-1=0
u=1
wait, u=x⁴
2=x⁴
![\sqrt[4]{2}=x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B2%7D%3Dx)
1=x⁴
+/-1=x
the subsitution is u=x⁴
and the possible values for x are -1,
, and 1

Answer:
The percentage of the markup is 82%
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the percentage of mark up. This is simply calculating the percentage of the profit margin.
firstly to be able to calculate this percentage, we need to know the value of the profit margin itself.
mathematically, the profit margin is selling price - cost price
From the question, the selling price is $1 while the cost price is 55 cents
The profit margin is thus $1 - 55 cents = 45 cents
We now proceed to calculate the percentage profit
mathematically, that is profit/cost price * 100%
That would be 45 cents/55 cents * 100 = 9/11 * 100% = 81.8 approximately 82%
Answer:
9 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the ages of all of these students are being represented in relation to the middle student's age then we can create formulas for each student and then apply them to the formula for the sum of their ages and solve for the middle child's age (M) like so... (oldest child's age is represented by variable O and youngest child's age is represented by variable Y)
O = M + 6
Y = M - 3
30 = (M+6) + M + (M-3) ... combine like terms
30 = 3M + 3 ... subtract 3 from both sides
27 = 3M ... divide both sides by 3
9 = M
Now we know that the middle child is 9 years old.
