Answer:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x = 4.24151

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

-x^2 + x + 14 + 2/x - 13/x^2 = 0

Bring -x^2 + x + 14 + 2/x - 13/x^2 together using the common denominator x^2:

(-x^4 + x^3 + 14 x^2 + 2 x - 13)/x^2 = 0

Multiply both sides by x^2:

-x^4 + x^3 + 14 x^2 + 2 x - 13 = 0

Multiply both sides by -1:

x^4 - x^3 - 14 x^2 - 2 x + 13 = 0

Eliminate the cubic term by substituting y = x - 1/4:

13 - 2 (y + 1/4) - 14 (y + 1/4)^2 - (y + 1/4)^3 + (y + 1/4)^4 = 0

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

y^4 - (115 y^2)/8 - (73 y)/8 + 2973/256 = 0

Add (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8 to both sides:

y^4 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + 2973/256 = (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8

y^4 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + 2973/256 = (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 = (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + (73 y)/8

Add 2 (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) λ + λ^2 to both sides:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16)^2 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2

(73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) y^2)/8 + (115 y^2)/8 + 2 λ (y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16) + λ^2 = (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) y^2 + (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8 + λ^2:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = y^2 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + (73 y)/8 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8 + λ^2

Complete the square on the right hand side:

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)))^2 + (4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) (λ^2 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8) - 5329/64)/(4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8))

To express the right hand side as a square, find a value of λ such that the last term is 0.

This means 4 (2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) (λ^2 + (sqrt(2973) λ)/8) - 5329/64 = 1/64 (512 λ^3 + 96 sqrt(2973) λ^2 + 3680 λ^2 + 460 sqrt(2973) λ + 11892 λ - 5329) = 0.

Thus the root λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3)) allows the right hand side to be expressed as a square.

(This value will be substituted later):

(y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ)^2 = (y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)))^2

Take the square root of both sides:

y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ = y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) + 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8)) or y^2 + sqrt(2973)/16 + λ = -y sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8) - 73/(16 sqrt(2 λ + 115/8 + sqrt(2973)/8))

Solve using the quadratic formula:

y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) + sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 + 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) or y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 + 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) or y = 1/8 (sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 - 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973))) - sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973))) or y = 1/8 (-sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)) - sqrt(2) sqrt((10252 - 32 sqrt(2973) λ - 256 λ^2 - 292 sqrt(2) sqrt(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))/(16 λ + 115 + sqrt(2973)))) where λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3))

Substitute λ = 1/48 (-3 sqrt(2973) - 115) + 1/12 (-i sqrt(3) + 1) ((3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)/2)^(1/3) + (173 (i sqrt(3) + 1))/(3 2^(2/3) (3 i sqrt(10705335) - 8327)^(1/3)) and approximate:

y = -3.23079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x - 1/4 = -3.23079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or y = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x - 1/4 = -1.40272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or y = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x - 1/4 = 0.642002 or y = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or y = 3.99151

Substitute back for y = x - 1/4:

x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x - 1/4 = 3.99151

Add 1/4 to both sides:

Answer: x = -2.98079 or x = -1.15272 or x = 0.892002 or x = 4.24151

Answer:

1. Option c

2. Option d

Step-by-step explanation:

This type of survey is includes a sample made up of voluntary responses. People only choose to or do not choose to respond.

This type of sampling method is most of the time unbelievable because generally only people with strong opinions about this particular questions will respond and it is usually towards the same direction as the question and this might not reflect the opinion of the whole population making the survey biased.

Two positive integers are 3 units apart on a number line. Their product is 108. Which equation can be used to solve for m, the g

nikitadnepr [17]

If the greater integer is m, then the smaller integer must be (m-3) because the integers are 3 units apart on a number line. It cannot be in front of m, because m is the greater so it must be behind m meaning it is 3 units less. Product is the technical term for the result of a multiplication problem so m(m-3) = 108 would be the answer.

Final Answer: m(m-3) = 108
