Question

using properties of proportion solve for x given x⁴+1/2x²=17/8​

Answer 1

$\frac{ {x}^{4} + 1 }{2 {x}^{2} } = \frac{17}{8}$

Based on properties of proportion

${x}^{4 + 1} = 17 \: and \: 2 {x}^{2} = 8 \\ {x}^{4} = 17 - 1\: and \: {x}^{2} = \frac{8}{2} \\ {x}^{4} = 16\: and \: {x}^{2} = 4 \\ {x}^{4} = {2}^{4} \: and \: x = \sqrt{4} \\ x = 2\: and \: x = 2$

x = 2
