Solve the following and simplify your answer.
Perform the given operations and simplify your answer.
Let’s Analyze
1. Evaluating the (x⁴ − 4) ( x² + 2)
What is the most appropriate/ easiest way of solving this problem?
-The most appropriate method to used is the FOIL Method.
What are the necessary steps that have to undergo to arrive with the correct
answer?
-In this problem,the appropriate way to use in solving is the FOIL Method ,so
the first step is to solve the first term where the “x⁴” will be multiply to the
“x²”,and in the outermost term is the “x⁴” will multiply the positive two,in the
innermost term is the negative four will multiply to the “x²”,and the last term is
the negative four will multiply to the positive two.And we can see that they are
unlike sign,so the outermost terms and innermost term will be cancel which will
show that only the first terms and last terms will be the answer that will
remain,which is the final answer.
2. Evaluating
What is the first step that you will make?
-In dividing the complex number the first step that should be done is that to
know first the conjugate of the complex number in the denominator,in finding
the conjugate complex number in a denominator,the sign of it will
change,which that change of sign conjugate complex number will be used.
Why will you make that step?
- Because knowing the conjugate of the complex number in the
denominator(which already changes the sign) will be used to multiply to the
given fraction/ division of complex number.
Show the step by step procedure to arrive with the correct answer
In a Nutshell
The importance of learning the basic rules and protocols in solving algebraic
equation and reducing them to its simplest form is an important tool in
mathematics. In this portion of the unit, you will be required to state your
arguments or synthesis relevant to the topics presented. I will supply the first
two items and you will continue the rest.
1. The concept of PEMDAS is not limited to real numbers but to all types of
numbers.
2. The skills developed in finding the products and factoring are necessary in
getting the simplest form of expression.
Your turn:
3. The FOIL method is useful in solving any kind of algebraic equation.
4.The rules of signs, in multiplication, when the negative sign will multiply to
the positive sign, the result will be negative, while the negative sign will multiply
to the negative sign the result will be positive and positive will multiply to
positive the result will be positive.
5.The zero properties, zero can multiply, add, subtract, divide by any number,
which will result in zero though any number that is divided by zero is
undefined.
