Answer:
x = 4.5, 4/7
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the roots of a factored equation you need to set the y value at 0, that way you can solve for x. Once you solve for x you get two quantities, which can be graphed. These two quantities are where the x intercepts are.
The answer is A I believe
Answer: 484
===============================================
Work Shown:
First let's compute f(2). We replace every x with 2 and then use PEMDAS to simplify
f(x) = -x^4 + 5x - 4x^2
f(2) = -(2)^4 + 5(2) - 4(2)^2
f(2) = -16 + 5(2) - 4(4)
f(2) = -16 + 10 - 16
f(2) = -6 - 16
f(2) = -22
Then we square this result to find the value of ![[ f(2) ]^2](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%20f%282%29%20%5D%5E2)
![f(2) = -22\\\\\left[ f(2) \right]^2 = [ -22 ]^2\\\\\left[ f(2) \right]^2 = 484](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=f%282%29%20%3D%20-22%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%20f%282%29%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%20%3D%20%5B%20-22%20%5D%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%5Cleft%5B%20f%282%29%20%5Cright%5D%5E2%20%3D%20484)
So, this is too vague but I'll solve for both quadratic formula and find the discriminant.
Quadratic formula: <span>x=<span>5+<span><span><span>√35 OR</span><span> </span></span>x</span></span></span>=<span>5−<span>√<span>35
Finding the discriminant: 141</span></span></span>
