Show all work to factor x4-5x2+4

x = 1 or -1  

x = -2 or 2

Step-by-step explanation:

x4 - 5x2 + 4 = 0

x4 - 4 x2 - x2 + 4 =0

x2 ( x2 - 4 ) - 1 ( x2 - 4 ) = 0

( x2 - 1 ) ( x2 - 4 ) =

x2 - 1 = 0         or          x2 - 4 = 0

x2 = 1                            x2 = 4

x = 1 or -1                              x = -2 or 2

5=812a+9+3

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

5=812a+9+3

5=(812a)+(9+3)(combine like terms)

5=812a+12

5=812a+12

step 2: flip the equation.

812a+12=5

step 3: subtract 12 from both sides.

812a+12−12=5−12

812a=−7

step 4: divide both sides by 812.

812a /812 = -7/812

a= -1/116

so the answer is

a=   -1/116

step-by-step explanation:

two pairs of adjacent sides are of equal length. this implies that one diagonal divides the kite into congruent triangles, and so the angles between the two pairs of equal sides are equal in measure. it also implies that the diagonals are perpendicular.
