What substitution should be used to rewrite 4x^12-5x^6-14=0 as a quadratic equation?

Browning labs is testing a new growth inhibitor for a certain type of bacteria. the bacteria naturally grows exponentially each hour at a rate of 6.2%. the researchers know that the inhibitor will make the growth rate of the bacteria less than or equal to its natural growth rate. the sample currently contains 100 bacteria. the container holding the sample can hold only 300 bacteria, after which the sample will no longer grow. however, the researchers are increasing the size of the container at a constant rate allowing the container to hold 100 more bacteria each hour. they would like to determine the possible number of bacteria in the container over time. create a system of inequalities to model the situation above, and use it to determine how many of the solutions are viable.

Four airplanes carrying a total of 400 passengersarrive at the detroit airport. the airplanes carry, respectively,50, 80, 110, and 160 passengers. a) one of the 400 passengers is selected uniformly at random. let x denote the number of passengers that were on theairplane carrying the randomly selected passenger. find var(x)for x as given in the problemb) one of the 4 airplane drivers is also selected uniformly atrandom. let y denote the number of passengers on the chosen driver’s airplane. find var(y) for y as given in the problem

Tod does not have any cookies. david gives jeff 8 cookies. then he splits half of the cookies he has left with tod. david let’s c represent the number of cookies that he starts with. he finds the number of cookies that tod has is 1/2 the difference of c and 8. write an expression to represent the number of cookies that tod has.
