We have 3⁴ = 81, so we can factorize this as a difference of squares twice:

x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2\right)^4 - \left(\dfrac13\right)^4 \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 - \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2 - \dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + \dfrac13\right) \left(\left(x^2\right)^2 + \left(\dfrac13\right)^2\right) \\\\ x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \left(x^2 - \dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + \dfrac13\right) \left(x^4 + \dfrac19\right)

Depending on the precise definition of "completely" in this context, you can go a bit further and factorize x^2-\frac13 as yet another difference of squares:

x^2 - \dfrac13 = x^2 - \left(\dfrac1{\sqrt3}\right)^2 = \left(x-\dfrac1{\sqrt3}\right)\left(x+\dfrac1{\sqrt3}\right)

And if you're working over the field of complex numbers, you can go even further. For instance,

x^4 + \dfrac19 = \left(x^2\right)^2 - \left(i\dfrac13\right)^2 = \left(x^2 - i\dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + i\dfrac13\right)

But I think you'd be fine stopping at the first result,

x^8 - \dfrac1{81} = \boxed{\left(x^2 - \dfrac13\right) \left(x^2 + \dfrac13\right) \left(x^4 + \dfrac19\right)}

Given m|n, find the value of x and y.
galben [10]

We know that m ║ n.

Let's first find the value 'x'.

When two lines are parallel, and a transversal is drawn, the angles on the same side of the transversal are equivalent.

This means that (5x + 16)° and (7x + 4)° are equivalent.

Equating them,

5x + 16 = 7x + 4

16 - 4 = 7x - 5x

12 = 2x

x = 12/2

x = 6°

Since we know the value of 'x', let's substitute them into the angles and find out the actual measurements.

5x + 16 = 5 × 6 + 16 = 30 + 16 = 46°.

7x + 4 = 7 × 6 + 4 = 42 + 4 = 46°.

Now let's find the value of 'y'.

If you observe carefully, (7x + 4)° and (y + 6)° form a linear pair.

This means that both those angles should add upto 180°.

Using that theory, the following equation can be framed:

(y + 6)°+ (7x + 4)° = 180°

Since we know the actual value of (7x + 4)°, let's substitute that value and move ahead.

(y + 6)° + 46° = 180°

y + 6 + 46° = 180

y + 52° = 180°

y = 180° - 52°

y = 128°

Therefore, the values of 'x' and 'y' are 46° and 128° respectively.

Hope it helps. :)

Evaluate functions from their graph g(−9)=<br> See the Correct Answer Attached!
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Evaluating the function from the given graph, g(-9) = 1.

<h3>How to Evaluate a Function?</h3>

To find the value of a function for a given x-value using a given graph, trace the x-value against the corresponding y-value on the y-axis.

To evaluate the function from the graph given, for g(-9), find the y-value that corresponds to the x-value of -9.

The graph shows that when x = -9, the corresponding y-value is 1.

Therefore, g(-9) = 1.
