Find the roots of a quadratic equation. Factor a polynomial by grouping.
Question 18: Find the solutions of (x4)(x4)=0(x-4)(x-4)=0. Question 19: Factor 4x3+24x+x2+64 x^{3}+24 x+x^{2}+6 by grouping.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. For Question 18, we are solving the equation (x4)(x4)=0(x-4)(x-4)=0.
2. For Question 19, we are factoring the polynomial 4x3+24x+x2+64x^3 + 24x + x^2 + 6 by grouping.

STEP 2

To find the solutions for Question 18, we set each factor in the equation (x4)(x4)=0(x-4)(x-4)=0 equal to zero.
x4=0x-4=0

STEP 3

Solve for xx by adding 4 to both sides of the equation.
x=4x = 4

STEP 4

Since both factors are the same, we only get one solution for xx.
The solution for Question 18 is x=4x=4.

STEP 5

For Question 19, we start by rewriting the polynomial in a way that makes grouping more apparent.
Rearrange the terms in the polynomial 4x3+24x+x2+64x^3 + 24x + x^2 + 6 by ordering the terms by descending powers of xx.
4x3+x2+24x+64x^3 + x^2 + 24x + 6

STEP 6

Group the terms in pairs that have common factors.
(4x3+x2)+(24x+6)(4x^3 + x^2) + (24x + 6)

STEP 7

Factor out the greatest common factor from each group.
For the first group, x2x^2 is the common factor:
x2(4x+1)x^2(4x + 1)
For the second group, 66 is the common factor:
6(4x+1)6(4x + 1)

STEP 8

Now that we have factored out the common factors, we can write the polynomial as:
x2(4x+1)+6(4x+1)x^2(4x + 1) + 6(4x + 1)

STEP 9

Notice that (4x+1)(4x + 1) is a common factor in both terms. Factor out (4x+1)(4x + 1).
(4x+1)(x2+6)(4x + 1)(x^2 + 6)

STEP 10

The factored form of the polynomial 4x3+24x+x2+64x^3 + 24x + x^2 + 6 is (4x+1)(x2+6)(4x + 1)(x^2 + 6).
The solutions for Question 18 and Question 19 are:
Question 18: x=4x=4 (Answer D) Question 19: (4x+1)(x2+6)(4x + 1)(x^2 + 6)
