Q. Let p=x2+6 p = x^{2} + 6 . Which equation is equivalent to (x2+6)221=4x2+24 (x^{2} + 6)^{2} - 21 = 4x^{2} + 24 in terms of p p ? Choose 11 answer:\newline(A) p2+4p21=0 p^{2} + 4p - 21 = 0 \newline(B) p24p21=0 p^{2} - 4p - 21 = 0 \newline(C) p2+4p45=0 p^{2} + 4p - 45 = 0 \newline(D) p24p45=0 p^{2} - 4p - 45 = 0
  1. Expand left side using substitution: Let's first expand the left side of the equation using the given substitution p=x2+6 p = x^2 + 6 .\newlineWe have (x2+6)221 (x^2 + 6)^2 - 21 , which can be written as (p)221 (p)^2 - 21 .
  2. Expand right side using substitution: Now let's expand the right side of the equation, which is 4x2+244x^2 + 24.\newlineSince p=x2+6p = x^2 + 6, we can replace x2x^2 with p6p - 6 to get 4(p6)+244(p - 6) + 24.
  3. Distribute and simplify: Next, we distribute the 44 into the parentheses: 4(p6)+244(p - 6) + 24 becomes 4p24+244p - 24 + 24.
  4. Set equation to zero: Now, we simplify the expression 4p24+244p - 24 + 24 by combining like terms, which results in 4p4p.
  5. Match equation to answer choices: We now have the equation (p)221=4p(p)^2 - 21 = 4p.\newlineTo find the equivalent equation in terms of pp, we need to set the equation to zero by moving all terms to one side.
  6. Match equation to answer choices: We now have the equation (p)221=4p(p)^2 - 21 = 4p.\newlineTo find the equivalent equation in terms of pp, we need to set the equation to zero by moving all terms to one side.Subtract 4p4p from both sides to get (p)24p21=0(p)^2 - 4p - 21 = 0.
  7. Match equation to answer choices: We now have the equation (p)221=4p(p)^2 - 21 = 4p.\newlineTo find the equivalent equation in terms of pp, we need to set the equation to zero by moving all terms to one side. Subtract 4p4p from both sides to get (p)24p21=0(p)^2 - 4p - 21 = 0. We can now match our resulting equation to the answer choices. The equation (p)24p21=0(p)^2 - 4p - 21 = 0 corresponds to choice (B) p24p21=0p^{2} - 4p - 21 = 0.
