Find the two real roots of the equation x^4 -5=4x^2 Give the roots in an exact form.

Disguised quadratic. Let y=x^2So quadratic become y^2-4y-5=0so (y-5)(y+1)=0so y=5 and y=-1so x^2 = 5 or -1cannot be -1 as not real henso x^2=5x=+-sqrt(5)

A ball, dropped vertically, falls d metres in t seconds. d is directly proportional to the square of t. The ball drops 45 metres in the first 3 seconds. How many metres does the ball drop in the next 7 seconds?

d = kt². 45 = k x 3². 45 = k x 9 (/9). 5 = k.3+7 = 10 seconds total as we are investigating the NEXT 7 seconds. d = kt². d = 5 x 10². d = 5 x 100d = 500m in 10 ...
