Answer:
x can be 3, -3, i, or -i.
Step-by-step explanation:
If you can't find the factoring by looking at this, simplify the equation.
let
x
2
=
y
to make things easier to see
Now we have
y
2
−
8
y
−
9
=
0
See it now?
We can factor into
(
y
−
9
)
(
y
+
1
)
Now substitute back in
x
2
for
y
.
(
x
2
−
9
)
(
x
2
+
1
)
Since
(
x
2
−
9
)
is a difference of two squares,
(
x
−
3
)
(
x
+
3
)
Now we have
(
x
−
3
)
(
x
+
3
)
(
x
2
+
1
)
x can be 3, -3 for the first two parts
x
2
+
1
=
0
can become
x
2
=
−
1
Taking the positive and negative root means
x
=
±
√
−
1
Thus
x
=
±
i
in addition to 3 and -3.
Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.
Since the hedge is surrounding the square base, the area of the base can be determined by subtracting the area of the base from the hedge.
A = pi*r^2 - (4x)^2
A = pi*(6x)^2 - (4x)^2
A = 2x^2*(3pi - 2)
I hope I was able to answer your question. Have a good day.
Should be zero, I believe.
