Answer:
(x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
actor the following:
x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16
x^4 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16:
(x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16
The factors of 16 that sum to -17 are -1 and -16. So, (x^2)^2 - 17 x^2 + 16 = (x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16):
(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 16)
x^2 - 16 = x^2 - 4^2:
(x^2 - 1) (x^2 - 4^2)
Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 4^2 = (x - 4) (x + 4):
(x - 4) (x + 4) (x^2 - 1)
x^2 - 1 = x^2 - 1^2:
(x^2 - 1^2) (x - 4) (x + 4)
Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 1^2 = (x - 1) (x + 1):
Answer: (x - 1) (x + 1) (x - 4) (x + 4)
Answer:the perimeter of the regular pentagon is 5x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a plane figure is the distance around the plane figure. The pentagon is a plane figure. It has 5 sides. Since it is a regular Pentagon, it means that all the sides are equal.
From the information given, the length of each side of the regular Pentagon is x + 4
The perimeter of the regular Pentagon would be 5 times the length of each side. It becomes
5(x + 4) = 5x + 20
I can tell this activity is about graphing, but the writing is barely legible, can you re-upload the pictures or write it out?
-16+-x/4=-3
-x/4=13
-x=52
x=-52
