each of 4 family members uses 175 minutes or fewer of their combined family cell phone plan. at the end of the month, the family does not have any remaining cell phone minutes. solve the inequality x÷ 4<175 to find how many cell phone minutes the family might share each month ​

x = ± ∜175 = ± 3.6371

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    x^4-(175)=0

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares:

1.1      Factoring:  x4-175

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 175 is not a square !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares.

Polynomial Roots Calculator :

1.2    Find roots (zeroes) of :       F(x) = x4-175

Polynomial Roots Calculator is a set of methods aimed at finding values of  x  for which   F(x)=0  

Rational Roots Test is one of the above mentioned tools. It would only find Rational Roots that is numbers  x  which can be expressed as the quotient of two integers. The Rational Root Theorem states that if a polynomial zeroes for a rational number  P/Q   then  P  is a factor of the Trailing Constant and  Q  is a factor of the Leading Coefficient

In this case, the Leading Coefficient is  1  and the Trailing Constant is  -175.

The factor(s) are:

of the Leading Coefficient :  1

of the Trailing Constant :  1 ,5 ,7 ,25 ,35 ,175

Let us test

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

2.1      Solve  :    x4-175 = 0

Add  175  to both sides of the equation :

                     x4 = 175

                    x  =  ∜ 175  

The equation has two real solutions  

These solutions are  x = ± ∜175 = ± 3.6371  

Two solutions were found :

x = ± ∜175 = ± 3.6371

answer: i guess 5 units?
