Tha answer is b because there is 10 numbers and 3 of them are 4.
Get into ax²+bx+c=0 form
subsitute u=x⁴
x⁸-3x⁴+2=0
(x⁴)²-3(x⁴)+2=0
u²-3u+2=0
factor
(u-2)(u-1)=0
set to zero
u-2=0
u=2
u-1=0
u=1
wait, u=x⁴
2=x⁴
![\sqrt[4]{2}=x](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Csqrt%5B4%5D%7B2%7D%3Dx)
1=x⁴
+/-1=x
the subsitution is u=x⁴
and the possible values for x are -1,
, and 1
Complete question:
Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) # ( - 1 ) is 6 . 11. After a recycling awareness program, the number of tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill is reduced by 13 7/10 tons per month. Represent the total change in the tons of recyclable material taken to the landfill after 7 months resulting from the awareness program a. What is the correct product? 10 month. Represent the total change in the b. What was Kyle's likely error?
Answer:
Kindly check explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Kyle incorrectly says that the product of - ( - 6 ) ( - 1 ) is 6
-(-6)(-1) = 6 [incorrect]
Correction:
-(-6) (-1) :
- (-6) = 6
6 (-1) = - 6
Given that reduction in materials = 13 7/10 tons per month
Monthly reduction = 13 7/10 = 137/10 tons
After 7 months : (7 * 137/10) = 959/10 tons = 95.9 tons
Change in amount of material taken to the land fill:
Initial amount - amount after 7 months
If initial amount = x
Change in amonnt = (x - 95.9) tons
