Q. Find one value of x that is a solution to the equation:(x2+3)2+21=10x2+30x=□
Expand left side of equation: We are given the equation (x2+3)2+21=10x2+30. Let's start by expanding the left side of the equation.(x2+3)2=x4+6x2+9Now, we rewrite the equation with the expanded form:x4+6x2+9+21=10x2+30
Rewrite equation with expanded form: Next, we simplify the equation by combining like terms on the left side: x4+6x2+30=10x2+30
Combine like terms on left side: Now, we subtract 10x2 and 30 from both sides to move all terms to one side and set the equation to zero:x4+6x2+30−10x2−30=0
Move terms to one side and set equation to zero: Simplify the equation by combining like terms: x4−4x2=0
Factor out x2 from equation: We can factor out an x2 from the equation:x2(x2−4)=0
Apply zero-product property: Now we have a product of two factors equal to zero. We can use the zero-product property to set each factor equal to zero:x2=0 or x2−4=0
Solve first equation for x: Solving the first equation for x gives us:x=0
Solve second equation for x: Solving the second equation for x gives us two solutions because it is a difference of squares:x2−4=(x+2)(x−2)=0So, x=−2 or x=2
