Answer from: Quest

the expansion of the rule of empires over other territories took place as a result of several reasons including economic, ethnocentric, political, and religious, and exploratory purposes.

in terms of economic purposes: imperial governments aimed to maximize profits and with that purpose they neeeded cheap labor, access to or control of markets to sell or buy products. they also desired to find natural resources (precious metals and land). in the awake of industrial revolution, dependent colonies provided the necessary raw materials that european factories and market needed to manufacture products.

ethnocentric: many territories were conquered by imperial territories in an attempt to spread their cultures, values and belief as they considered them to be superior. in the late 19th century, for example, european powers held the racist belief that inferior races should be conquered in order to “civilize” them.

political: another reason that drove conquer and expansion was patriotism and growing imperial power. it refers to national prestige, pride, and security. empires sought strategic territory to ensure access for their navies and armies around the world.

religious: the aim of converting new member of other religions was another factor that prompted expansion. christian missionaries from europe established churches in conquered territories during the nineteenth century. thus, they spread western cultural values. furthermore, the imperial nation’s language was spread as well, through educational and religious interactions.

exploratory: imperial nations or their citizens aimed to explore territory that was unknown to them, for different purposes including medical or scientific research, however, at the very beginning, they did it to embark on adventure. furthermore, imperial explorers sought to discover, map, and claim territory before their imperial competition did, for national and personal glory as well as to realize the imperialist goal of expansion.

answer

$x = \pm 2\sqrt{2} \: \: or \: \: x = \pm 1$

explanation

the given equation is

${x}^{4} - 9 {x}^{2} + 8 = 0$

we can rewrite this as:

$({x}^{2})^{2} - 9 {x}^{2} + 8 = 0$

let

$u = {x}^{2}$

then the equation becomes:

${u}^{2} - 9 {u}^{2} + 8 = 0$

the factors of 8 that sum up to -9 are {-1,-8}

we split the middle term with these factors to obtain,

${u}^{2} - u - 8u+ 8 = 0$

we factor by grouping to obtain:

$u(u - 1) - 8(u - 1) = 0$

$(u - 8)(u - 1) = 0$

apply the zero product property to get:

$u - 8 = 0 \: \: or \: \: u - 1 = 0$

$u = 8 \: or \: u = 1$

but

$u = {x}^{2}$

${x}^{2} = 8 \: or \: {x}^{2} = 1$

$x = \pm \sqrt{8} \: \: or \: \: x = \pm \: \sqrt{ 1}$

$x = \pm 2\sqrt{2} \: \: or \: \: x = \pm 1$

“[the city’s engineers excelled in areas] neglected by the greeks, such as the construction of roads and aqueducts, and of sewers that could wash the filth of the city into the tiber. they have built paved roads throughout the country, leveling ridges and filling up hollows, so as to make possible the movements of heavily loaded wagons. . and such is the quantity of water brought in by the aqueducts, that veritable rivers flow through the city and its sewers: almost every house has cisterns, waterpipes, and copious fountains.” —strabo, as quoted in empires ascendant: time frame 400 b.c.–a.d. 200 cisterns are tanks that hold water until it is needed; if a house has a cistern, it is likely to also have a. aqueducts. c. a swimming pool. b. a fish pond. d. sinks and faucets.
