Combine like terms. Your answer should contain decimals. 0.5(x4 − 9) + 15 = Please in 10 mins please

x ≈ ±2.1407

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5(x⁴ - 9) + 15 = 0

Distribute the 0.5 across the parentheses.

0.5x⁴ - 4.5 + 15 = 0

Combine the constants.

0.5x⁴ + 10.5 = 0

Subtract 10.5 from both sides.

0.5x⁴ = -10.5

Divide both sides by 0.5.

x⁴ = 21

Take the fourth root of 21.

⁴√21 ≈ ±2.1407

x ≈ ±2.1407

connie < felicia < stew

step-by-step explanation:

stew:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

    = (2650-795)/(10-3)

    = 1855/7

connie:

we need to find the slope

m = (y2-y1)/ (x2-x1)

we have two points (0,0) and (4,800)

m = (800-0)/(4-0)

  m = 800/4

felicia:

260 words per minute

200< 260 < 265

connie < felicia < stew
