factorise: x^4– 5x^2 + 4​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(x - 2)(x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] {x}^{4} - 5 {x}^{2} + 4 \\ \\ = {x}^{4} - 4 {x}^{2} - {x}^{2} + 4 \\ \\ = {x}^{2} ( {x}^{2} - 4) - 1( {x}^{2} - 4) \\ \\ = ( {x}^{2} - 4)( {x}^{2} - 1) \\ \\ = (x + 2)(x - 2)(x + 1)(x - 1) \\ \\ = (x - 2)(x - 1)(x + 1)(x + 2)[/tex]

Answer 2

Answer:

[tex](x+1)(x-1)(x+2)(x-2)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To factorise  [tex]x^4-5x^2+4[/tex] :

Let [tex]x^2=u[/tex]

[tex]\implies x^4-5x^2+4=u^2-5u+4[/tex]

Now factorise  [tex]u^2-5u+4[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{for} \ ax^2+bx+c \ \textsf{find} \ v, w \ \textsf{such that} \ v \cdot w=a \cdot c \ \textsf{and} \ v+w=b[/tex]

[tex]\textsf{and group into} \ (ax^2+vx)+(wx+c)[/tex]

[tex]\implies v=-1, w=-4[/tex]

[tex]\implies u^2-u-4u+4[/tex]

Break into groups

[tex]\implies (u^2-u)+(-4u+4)[/tex]

Factor each parentheses:

[tex]\implies u(u-1)-4(u-1)[/tex]

Factor out common term [tex](u-1)[/tex]:

[tex]\implies (u-1)(u-4)[/tex]

Substitute back [tex]u=x^2[/tex] :

[tex]\implies (x^2-1)(x^2-4)[/tex]

Factor both parentheses using the Difference of Two Squares: [tex]a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)[/tex]

[tex]\implies (x+1)(x-1)(x+2)(x-2)[/tex]

Therefore, the factorisation of [tex]x^4-5x^2+4[/tex] is

[tex](x+1)(x-1)(x+2)(x-2)[/tex]

where,

an = nth term of the sequence,a = first term of the sequence and r = common ratio

Given -

A geometric sequence 2, -4, 8, ...

To find -

the 12th term of the given geometric sequence

Solution -

A.T.Q, a = 2 and r = -2

[tex]\rightarrow\sf{a_{12} =2(-2)^{12-1} }[/tex]

Answers

The widths of Kyle's and Myla's boxes for the considered case are obtained as: width of Kyle's box = 2 ft, width of Myle's box = 2 ft

How to find the volume of a right rectangular prism?

Suppose that the right rectangular prism in consideration be having its dimensions as 'a' units, 'b' units, and 'c' units, then its volume is given as:

[tex]V = a\times b \times c \: \: unit^3[/tex]

A storage box oftenly has the shape of a right rectangular prism.

We're specified that:

For Kyle's box:

Volume of the box = 12 cubic ftLength of the box = 2 ftHeight of the box = 3 ftWidth of the box = x ft (suppose)

For Myla's box:

Volume of the box = 16 cubic ftLength of the box = 4 ftHeight of the box = 2 ftWidth of the box = y ft (suppose)

Using the formula for volume of right rectangular prism to find the missing widths:

Case 1: For Kyle's box:

[tex]12 = 2 \times 3 \times x\\12 = 6 \times x\\\text{Dividing both the sides by 6}\\2= x\\x = 2 \: \rm ft[/tex]

Case 2: For Myla's box:

[tex]16 = 4 \times 2 \times y\\16 = 8 \times x\\\text{Dividing both the sides by 8}\\2= y\\y = 2 \: \rm ft[/tex]

Thus, the widths of Kyle's and Myla's boxes for the considered case are obtained as: width of Kyle's box = 2 ft, width of Myle's box = 2 ft

please help n explain ily

Answers

Answer:

3pm

Step-by-step explanation:

so for this you want to work backwards, starting at 7:30pm because that's when they have dinner.

how i would solve this is I would add up all the amount of time they want to tour around San francisco

so 45 + 1hr15mins = 2hrs

2hrs +2hrs30mins= 4hrs30mins

so starting at 7:30 take away 4hrs 30mins

7:30 - 4hrs = 3:30pm

3:30 - 30 minutes = 3pm

They must start their tour at 3pm.

hope that helps :)

Answer:

The latest time Sue's family can start their tour but still make it home for dinner would be:
3:00 p.m




Step-by-step explanation:

Starting at 7:30pm because that's when they have dinner:
45min. + 1hr & 15mins = 2hours

2hours + 2hours & 30mins= 4hours & 30mins



Starting at 7:30 take away 4hrs 30mins:

7:30p.m - 4hrs = 3:30p.m

3:30 - 30 minutes = 3:00p.m

In conclusion, they must start their tour at 3:00 p.m to be able to reach dinner by 7:30 p.m (which is the latest time).

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = (-3/2)\, x + (-2)[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

If [tex](x_{0},\, y_{0})[/tex] is on the equation of the line [tex]y = m\, x + b[/tex], then substituting [tex]x = x_{0}[/tex] and [tex]y = y_{0}[/tex] into the equation would still give an equality: [tex]y_{0} = m\, x_{0} + b[/tex].

In this question, since [tex](-2,\, 1)[/tex] is a point on the line [tex]y = m\, x + b[/tex], equality shall still hold after substituting in [tex]x = (-2)[/tex] and [tex]y = 1[/tex]:

[tex]1 = m\times (-2) + b[/tex].

Similarly, since [tex](2,\, -5)[/tex] is a point on this line, equality shall still hold after substituting in [tex]x = 2[/tex] and [tex]y = (-5)[/tex]:

[tex](-5) = m\times 2 + b[/tex].

The unknowns of both equations are [tex]m[/tex] and [tex]b[/tex].

Solve this system of two equations and two unknowns:

[tex]\left\lbrace\begin{aligned}& m = -\frac{3}{2} \\ & b = -2\end{aligned}\right.[/tex].

A line segment has endpoints at (2, 10) and (18, -18). What is the approximate length of the segment?

Answers

Answer:

  32.2 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of a line segment can be found from its endpoint coordinates using the distance formula.

  d = √((x2 -x1)² +(y2 -y1)²)

  d = √((18 -2)² +(-18 -10)²) = √(16² +(-28)²) = √1040

  d ≈ 32.2

The line segment is about 32.2 units long.

The approximate length of the segment is 32.25 units if the line segment has endpoints at (2, 10) and (18, -18).

What is a distance formula?

It is defined as the formula for finding the distance between two points. It has given the shortest path distance between two points.

We have two points (2, 10) and (18, -18)

From the distance formula:

[tex]\rm d= \sqrt{(x_2-x_2)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm d= \sqrt{(18-2)^2+(-18-10)^2}[/tex]

[tex]\rm d= \sqrt{(16)^2+(-28)^2} \\\\\rm d= \sqrt{(256+784)\\[/tex]

[tex]\rm d =\sqrt{1040} \\\\d = 32.249[/tex] units  or

d = 32.25 units

Thus, the approximate length of the segment is 32.25 units if the line segment has endpoints at (2, 10) and (18, -18).

What is a linear equation?

A linear equation is an equation in which the highest power of the variable is always 1. The standard form of a linear equation in one variable is of the form Ax + B = 0.

Sam had some money in his pocket, and he found another $6.50 in his dresser drawer. The total amount sam had was $19.75.

Here, let p represent the amount of money sam had in his pocket.

The equation formed

p + $6.50 = $19.75

p = $19.75 - $6.50

p = $13.25

Therefore, the total amount of money sam had in his pocket is $13.25.
