Question

What is the smallest solution of the equation
x^4 - 34x^2 + 225 = 0?

Answer 1

(x^2-25)(x^2-9)=0
x^2=25 or x^2=x = 5, -5, 3, -3
Smallest solution is -5

Answer 2

What's your first step

Answer 3

To factor the trinomial you posted.

Answer 4

How do you factor it?

Answer 5

I don't understand you question. Don't you see the factors I posted? That's how you factor it.

Answer 6

No, that's the result you get after factoring it, its factors. Show me how you came up with the two binomials

Answer 7

not sure

Answer 8

Do you know how to factor?
Factor this:
\[x^2-34x+225\]

Answer 9

Try to think of two numbers. Their product is 225 and their sum is -34

Answer 10
