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!

Hello!

Experimental probability is the probability in relation to the data that has been collected. In this example, adding up the times spun we get 18 times spun. Where red was spun 6 times, this is 1/3 of what was done.

Our answer is B) 1/3.

Hope this helped!

pshichka [43]

Answer:

(x + 1)² + (y - 3)² = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

radius (r): √(1 - (-1))² + (1 - 3)² = √8 = 2√2

Formula for circle with center (h,k): (x – h)² + (y – k)² = r²

(x + 1)² + (y - 3)² = 8
