More complicated quadratic question.... Solve. Explain your steps. d^4+32=12d^2
Your picture... :/
This is the second time someone has commented on it in the last 10 minutes.....Its just a plant people lets be mature here.
first lets summon all variables on the same side of equation d^4-12d^2+32=0
have you covered quadratic equations yet?
then to make it perfect square, we need to add 4 to 32 but not to distorb the original equation we need to subtract 4 as well
I do not know how to solve quadratic equations what so ever.... Im horrible at them.
d^4-12d^2+32+4-4=(d^4-12d^2+36)-4=0
we can rewrite the paranthesis like (d^2-6)^2
(d^2-6)^2-4=0 that is a perfect square as well
so (d^2-6-2)(d^2-6+2)=0 to organize (d^2-8)(d^2-4)=0 either variables have to be equal to zero
d^2-8=0 d=2\[\sqrt{2}\] d^2-4=0 d=2
opps i mean \[2\sqrt{2}\]
did you understand???
