Q. Let m=x2+3. Which equation is equivalent to (x2+3)2+7x2+21=−10 in terms of m? Choose 1 answer:(A) m2−7m+31=0(B) m2+7m+31=0(C) m2−7m+10=0(D) m2+7m+10=0
Substitute m into equation: We are given m=x2+3. Let's substitute m into the given equation (x2+3)2+7x2+21=−10 to find the equivalent equation in terms of m.
Expand and simplify: First, we substitute m for x2+3 in the equation:(m)2+7x2+21=−10
Combine like terms: Since m=x2+3, we can also substitute m−3 for x2 in the equation:(m)2+7(m−3)+21=−10
Add to both sides: Now, let's expand and simplify the equation: m2+7m−21+21=−10
Add to both sides: Now, let's expand and simplify the equation:m2+7m−21+21=−10Combine like terms:m2+7m=−10
Add to both sides: Now, let's expand and simplify the equation:m2+7m−21+21=−10Combine like terms:m2+7m=−10To get the equation in standard form, we add 10 to both sides of the equation:m2+7m+10=0
