Question

Y=6x4 + 7x2 and x = vw +1

Answer 1

Answer:

w=-1/6 or w=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitute the value of x and y into the first equation and solve for w:

$y=6x^4+7x^2\\10=6(\sqrt{w+1})^4+7(\sqrt{w+1})^2\\10=6(w+1)^2+7(w+1)\\10=6(w^2+2w+1)+7w+7\\10=6w^2+12w+6+7w+7\\0=6w^2+19w+3$

Solve for w with the quadratic formula:

$w=\frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\w=\frac{-19\±\sqrt{19^2-4(6)(3)} }{2(6)}\\w=\frac{-19\±\sqrt{361-72}}{12} \\w=\frac{-19\±\sqrt{289} }{12} \\w=\frac{-19\±17}{12}$

After simplifying, we get either w=-1/6 or w=-3.

Not sure if w needs to satisfy all conditions while maintaining everything as real numbers, because if w=-3, then x is an imaginary number. But both values work just as fine.
