Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Add 1 and subtract 1, so that the expression won't change.

(a² - b²) = (a+b)(a - b)
Here a = x² - (1/x²) and b = 1
In order to factor a polynomial, you have to find its roots

So that you can factor it as

So, in this case, we're looking for the solutions of

So, the polynomial can be written as

Answer:
x = 4.2
Step-by-step explanation:
72 + 10x = 114
10x = 114 - 72
10x = 42
x = 42/10
x = 4.2
Answer: 31/12, or 2 7/12
Step-by-step explanation: The answer is actually very simple. All you have to do is to simplify 10 1/3 into 31/3, as 10x3+1=31. Then, you have to multiply 31/3 with 1/4. Do a simple fraction multiplication, and you get 31/12, or 2 7/12 if your teacher is asking for a mixed number. Sometimes simplifying is better
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the triangle is right use Pythagoras' identity to solve for x
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other two sides, that is
x² = 14² + 10² = 196 + 100 = 296
Take the square root of both sides
x =
= 2
