Question
Solve the equation
s∈/R
Alternative Form
No real solution
Evaluate
s4×5=s×s−7
Use the commutative property to reorder the terms
5s4=s×s−7
Multiply the terms
5s4=s2−7
Move the expression to the left side
5s4−(s2−7)=0
If a negative sign or a subtraction symbol appears outside parentheses, remove the parentheses and change the sign of every term within the parentheses
5s4−s2+7=0
Solve the equation using substitution t=s2
5t2−t+7=0
Substitute a=5,b=−1 and c=7 into the quadratic formula t=2a−b±b2−4ac
t=2×51±(−1)2−4×5×7
Simplify the expression
t=101±(−1)2−4×5×7
