First, you need to rewrite the expression into binomial form, so you are working with two terms (as you world with a quadratic):
(x²)²-3(x²)-4=0
Now, you can place the x²s into brackets as the coefficient is now 1:
(x² )(x² )
Next, find out two numbers that add together to give you -3 and multiply to give -4 (these are the leftover integers after removing the x²s). These two numbers are -4 and 1.
Place the -4 and 1 into the brackets:
(x²-4)(x²+1)=0
Notice that the x²-4 is a difference of two squares, so can be further factorised into (x+2)(x-2)
This leaves you with a final factorisation of:
(x+2)(x-2)(x²+1)=0
Now we handle each bracket individually to obtain our four solutions for x:
x+2=0
x=-2
x-2=0
x=2
x²+1=0
x²=1
x=<span>±1</span>
Answer:
$199.89
Step-by-step explanation:
The bike costs 266.52
The parents are contributing one fourth of this (1/4)
We need to find 1/4th of 266.52
Divide 266.52 by 4 to find out how much Justin's parents are contributing to the bike
The answer is 66.63
Now subtract 66.63 from 266.52
Justin has to pay a total of 199.89
Answer:
(3,4)
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=7, where y=4, so therefore make x the subject and substitute y=4
x=7-y
x=7-4
x=3
therefore x=3, y=4.
Answer:
D i got u girl
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer: The wise man is 54 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
192 = 300 - 2a
a = wise mans age
-300
-108 = -2a
/2
54 = a
54 * 2 = 108
300 - 108 = 192
