The correct answer is b) 2
A = L * W
W = L - 5
these are in inches...
length width area
10 5 50 in^2
9 4 36 "
8 3 24 "
7 2 14 "
6 1 6 "
Here is one way to solve for x.
Step 1) 2x^2-7=9
Step 2) 2x^2-7+7=9+7
Step 3) 2x^2=16
Step 4) (2x^2)/2=16/2
Step 5) x^2=8
Step 6) sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)
Step 7) |x|=sqrt(8)
Step 8) x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)
-------------------------------------
Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.
Step 1) Original equation
Step 2) Add 7 to both sides
Step 3) Combine like terms
Step 4) Divide both sides by 2
Step 5) Simplify
Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"
Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x
Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.
-------------------------------------
The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)
Hi, I got C because you just put 1/2 in for an exponent.. so, 16 of an exponent of 1/2.. it would be letter C. 4
Answer:
Yes. Both are graphing calculators. TI 83 has a black only screen while the TI 84 has a colored screen
