SOLVE x^4 − 15x^2 − 16 = 0 What are the roots of the equation?

Mathematics
1 answer:
kakasveta [241]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

roots : 4, -4, i, -i

Step-by-step explanation:

This gets a bit tricky.

We have to substitude x^2 as u in this problem.

Now to rewrite x^4 − 15x^2 − 16 = 0 with u, we get

u^2 - 15u - 16 = 0

( u - 16) (u + 1)

U = 16

U = -1

<em>This is not the end of the problem. </em>

Now we have to substitute x^2 back to u.

x^2 = 16  --> we get the roots 4 and -4

x^2 = -1 --> we get the roots i and -i

tadah!

If a bus travels 20 km in 30 minutes. What is the average speed of the bus?
sattari [20]
<span>So we need to find the average speed of the bus that travels 20 km in 30 minutes. Average speed is defined as: Average speed=distance travelled/time taken or: v=s/t. We know s=20 km and t=30 minutes=0.5h. So after we input our numbers in the equation, we get: v=20km/0.5h=40km/h. So the correct answer is C) 40km/h.</span>

Find the area of a regular hexagon with the given measurement. 48-inch perimeter A = sq. in. the answer is a square root
svp [43]

The area of a regular hexagon is

... A = (3√3)/2×s² . . . . . where s is the side length

Of course, the 6-sided figure will have a side length that is 1/6 of the perimeter.

... s = (48 in)/6 = 8 in

... A = (3√3)/2×(8 in)² = 96√3 in² . . . area of your regular hexagon
