What are the solutions of the equation 9x4 – 2x2 – 7 = 0? Use u substitution to solve. tions of the equation 9

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $u^2=x^4\\u = x^2$

Subbing in:

$9u^2-2u-7=0$

a = 9, b = -2, c = -7

The product of a and c is the aboslute value of -63, so a*c = 63. We need 2 factors of 63 that will add to give us -2. The factors of 63 are {1, 63}, (3, 21}, {7, 9}. It looks like the combination of -9 and +7 will work because -9 + 7 = -2. Plug in accordingly:

$9u^2-9u+7u-7=0$

Group together in groups of 2:

$(9u^2-9u)+(7u-7)=0$

Now factor out what's common within each set of parenthesis:

$9u(u-1)+7(u-1)=0$

We know this combination "works" because the terms inside the parenthesis are identical. We can now factor those out and what's left goes together in another set of parenthesis:

$(u-1)(9u+7)=0$

Remember that $u=x^2$

so we sub back in and continue to factor. This was originally a fourth degree polynomial; that means we have 4 solutions.

$(x^2-1)(9x^2+7)=0$

The first two solutions are found withing the first set of parenthesis and the second two are found in other set of parenthesis. Factoring $(x^2-1)$ gives us that x = 1 and -1. The other set is a bit more tricky. If

$9x^2+7=0$ then

$9x^2=-7$ and

$x^2=-\frac{7}{9}$

You cannot take the square root of a negative number without allowing for the imaginary component, i, so we do that:

$x=$ ± $\sqrt{-\frac{7}{9} }$

which will simplify down to

$x=$ ± $\frac{\sqrt{7} }{3}i$

Those are the 4 solutions to the quartic equation.

Is it possible to combine multiple discounts that are less than 100% off so that an item is 100% off and essentially free?

Mkey [24]

Sort of, say you take 99% off of something that is $100. You will end up paying $1. Then if you take another 99% off, you wil pay $0.01. Takig another 99% off will give you $0.001, but money only goes to two decimal points, so its free from a money standpoint, but there is still a cost.

Over [174]

Answer: The correct number of balls is (b) 4.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that a single winner is to be chosen in a random draw designed for 210 participants. Also, there is an equal probability of winning for each participant.

We are using 10 balls, numbered through 0 to 9. We are to find the number of balls which needs to be picked up, regardless of order, so that each of the 210 participants can be assigned a unique set of numbers.

Let 'r' represents the number of balls to be picked up.

Since we are choosing from 10 balls, so we must have

$^{10}C_r=210.$
