Answer:

$\frac{1}{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

2 = 2 × 1

6 = 2 × 3

GCF = 2

$\frac{2 /2 }{6/2} =\frac{1}{3}$

Hi there!

»»————-　★　————-««

I believe your answer is:

$\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}$

»»————-　★　————-««

Here’s why:

We would take the GCF of the two numbers in order to simplify.

⸻⸻⸻⸻

$\boxed{\text{Simplify:}}\\\\\frac{2}{6}\\\\\boxed{\text{Finding the Factors:}}\\\\2: 2\\6 : 2,3\\\\\boxed{\text{The GCF would be 2.}}\\\\\frac{2}{6} =\frac{2/2}{6/2}=\boxed{\frac{1}{3}}$

Hope this helps you. I apologize if it’s incorrect.

Answer:

$x= i\\\\ x = -i \\\\x=\sqrt 2\\\\x = -\sqrt 2$

Step-by-step explanation:

$~~~~~~x^4 -x^2 -2=0\\\\\implies x^2 \cdot x^2-2x^2 +x^2 -2 = 0\\\\\implies x^2(x^2 -2) +(x^2 -2) =0\\\\\implies (x^2 +1)(x^2 -2) = 0\\\\ \implies x^2 +1=0~~~~~~~~\text{or}~~~~~~~~~x^2 -2 = 0\\\\ \implies x = \pm\sqrt{-1}~~~~~~~\text{or}~~~~~~~~~~ x = \pm\sqrt 2\\\\\implies x= \pm i~~~~~~~~~~~~~\text{or}~~~~~~~~~ x= \pm\sqrt 2$
