Question 16274: this is a four answer question. I found one of the answers by just guessing but I don't know how the operations work on a problem like this so can someone please eplain this to me? enter them in increasing order: x1= __ x2= __ x3= __ x4=3 Found 2 solutions by Earlsdon, tjnw79:Answer by Earlsdon(6294) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Solve:
This can be factored by treating the x^4 as (x^2)^2. Apply the zero products principle. and/or
If , then and or
If , then and or
The four roots are:
x = -1
x = 1
x = -3
x = 3
So, in increasing order, we have:
x1 = -3
x2 = -1
x3 = 1
x4 = 3
