NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago

5 0

Answer:

2 solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

x^4-6x^2-7=0

Replace x^2 by y

(x^2)^2-6x^2-7=0

y^2-6y-7=0

D=b^2-4ac= (-6)^2-4*1*(-7)= 36+28=64

sqrtD=8

y1=(-b-sqrtD)/2a=-2/2=-1

y2= (-b+sqrtD)/2a=14/2=7

x^2=-1(n0 roots) x^2=7 x=sqrt7 or x=-sqrt7

2 roots

A angles of an equilateral triangle are congruent. If x represents the measure of the third angle of the triangle, what is x?

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is the measure of the third angle and all 3 angles are congruent then

All 3 angles have a measure of x

The sum of the 3 angles in a triangle = 180°, this

x + x + x = 180 ← is the required equation

3x = 180 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 60

Anarel [89]

Answer:

x=-2.2 y=-1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

8x+y=-16

-3x+y=5

5x=-11

x=-11/5 or -2.2

-3x+y=5

-3(-2.2)+y=5

6.6+y=5

-6.6+y=-6.6

y=-1.6
