x(-3)^4=9(-3)^2-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

81x=81-5 81x=76 x=76/81 x=.938

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry that is supposed to be a + between the ^4 and the 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so x+9(-3)^4=9+9-3)^2-5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+(-3)^4=9+9-3)^2-5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Dang it is x(-3)^4+9(-3)^2-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 81x+76 but it says I'm wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait so i need to simplified the equation instead of solving it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should be right? are u doing mathxl or what?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

MyMathLab

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(-3)=x^4+x^2-5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

check the example and see how they write the answer or do it wrong and lei it show you the right answer and click similar exercise and do it again(that is what I do when I get the right answer but mathxl told me that I was wrong)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

f(-3)=x^4+9x^2-5 I just can't get my fingers to type right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok thank you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so for f(-3)=x^4+9x^2-5 it will be (-3)^4+9(-3)^2-5 81+81-5 157

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that should be right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you, that is the answer it gave.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Where am I going wrong?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got 81x+76 and you should get rid of the x then it will be 81+76=156
