- For Exercises 115–120, factor the expressions over the set of complex numbers. For assistance, consider these examples. • In Section R.3 we saw that some expressions factor over the set of integers. For example: x - 4 = (x + 2)(x – 2). • Some expressions factor over the set of irrational numbers. For example: - 5 = (x + V5)(x – V5). To factor an expression such as x + 4, we need to factor over the set of complex numbers. For example, verify that x + 4 = (x + 2i)(x – 2i). 115. а. х - 9 116. а. х? - 100 117. а. х - 64 b. x + 9 b. + 100 b. x + 64 118. а. х — 25 119. а. х— 3 120. а. х — 11 b. x + 25 b. x + 3 b. x + 11arrow_forwardIn Exercises 34–37, solve each polynomial equation. 34. 3x? = 5x + 2 35. (5x + 4)(x – 1) = 2 36. 15x? – 5x = 0 37. x - 4x2 - x + 4 = 0arrow_forwardFor Exercises 37–44, find the difference quotient and simplify. (See Examples 4-5) 37. f(х) — — 2х + 5 38. f(x) = -3x + 8 39. f(x) = -5x² – 4x + 2 40. f(x) = -4x - 2x + 6 41. f(x) = x' + 5 42. f(x) = 1 43. f(x) = 1 44. f(x) = x + 2arrow_forward
- For Exercises 73–80, (a) evaluate the discriminant and (b) determine the number and type of solutions to each equation. (See Example 9) 73.

If the statement is false, make the necessary change(s) to produce a true statement. 126. Once a GCF is factored from 6y – 19y + 10y“, the remaining trinomial factor is prime. 127. One factor of 8y² – 51y + 18 is 8y – 3. 128. We can immediately tell that 6x? – 11xy – 10y? is prime because 11 is a prime number and the polynomial contains two variables. 129. A factor of 12x2 – 19xy + 5y² is 4x – y.arrow_forward
