3(x + 2) > x
3x + 6 > x
3x - 3x + 6 > x - 3x
6 > -2x
6/-2 < -2x/-2
-3< x
(When dividing by a negative, reverse the direction of the inequality side, reverse it EVERY time you divide by a negative)

Solve x4 – 17x2 + 16 = 0. Let u = Select all of the zeroes of the function. i i

Soloha48 [4]

$Solve \ x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0$

To solve this equation , we need to write it in quadratic form

$ax^2+bx+c=0$

To get the equation in quadratic form we replace x^2 with u

$x^2 = u$

$x^4 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0$ can be written as

$(x^2)^2 - 17x^2 + 16 = 0$ , Replace u for x^2

So equation becomes

$u^2 - 17u + 16 = 0$

Now we factor the left hand side

-16 and -1 are the two factors whose product is +16 and sum is -17

(u-16) (u-1) = 0

u -16 = 0 so u=16

u-1 =0 so u=1

WE assume u = x^2, Now we replace u with x^2

$u = 16 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =16$

Now take square root on both sides , x= +4 and x=-4

$u = 1 so \ it \ becomes \ x^2 =1$

Now take square root on both sides , x= +1 and x=-1

So zeros of the function are -4, -1, 1, 4
