Complete the equation.

(1/4x)^-2= __/x^2

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

(

4

x)−2(2)=x2

32

x2

=x2

Step 1: Multiply both sides by x^2.

32=x4

32−x4=x4−x4(Subtract x^4 from both sides)

−x4+32=0

−x4+32−32=0−32(Subtract 32 from both sides)

−x4=−32

−x4

(Divide both sides by -1)

x4=32

x=±(32)(

x=2.378414,−2.378414

Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)

x=2.378414(Works in original equation)

x=−2.378414(Works in original equation)

Step-by-step explanation:

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
