Because this is a fourth degree that will be tricky to factor as it is, we will do a u substitution. Let . We can now rewrite that polynomial in terms of u:
. Filling into the quadratic formula we have
. Simplifying down
and
or
. That means that u = 8 or u = -1. But don't forget that we let
, so we have to put x-squared back in for u. That gives us
which simplifies down to
. That also gives us
. When we take the square root of -1, we have to use the fact that -1 = i^2, so we sub that in to get
. All in all, your solutions are as follows:
which is choice b.
Considering the expression x/2 + y2. Which statements are true?Mark all that apply.

Answer:
D. 8/2 +(-10)² = 104
Step-by-step explanation:
To find which statements are true, evaluate the expression for the given variable values. You do this by putting the numbers in place of the respective variables, then doing the arithmetic.
The respective expression values are ...
A 83 ≠ 37 . . . . (4/2) +9² = 2 +81 = 83
B 31 ≠ 61
C 52 ≠ 61
D 104 =104 . . . . true statement

Hi there!
Let's prove segment AB is perpendicular to CD. Attention to the fact that a two column proof has to be concise. So all the comments can't be exhaustive, but as short as possible.
Let's recap: An isosceles triangle is one triangle with at least 2 congruent angles.
Statement Reason
Given
Isosceles Triangle the altitude, the bisector coincide.
Bisector equally divide a line segment into two congruent
Right angles, perpendicular lines.
Perpendicular Line segment
Answer:
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Note the following identities: tan² x = sec²x - 1
tan² x + sec x = 1
(sec² x -1) + sec x = 1
sec² x + sec x - 2 = 0
(sec x + 2)(sec x - 1) = 0
sec x + 2 = 0 sec x - 1 = 0
sec x = -2 sec x = 1
