7 0

Answer: -9

Step-by-step explanation: You might think that the smallest two numbers are 11 and 1 but there are negative numbers. 1 - (-9) is equal to 10. 1 x (-9) is -9.

Solve this equation for x: 2x^2 + 12x - 7 = 0

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355

First step is to: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve this equation: $2x^2 + 12x - 7 = 0$

On observation, the trinomial is not factorizable so we use the Completing the square method.

Step 1: Isolate the constant term by adding 7 to both sides

$2x^2 + 12x - 7+7 = 0+7\\2x^2 + 12x=7$

Step 2: Divide the equation all through by the coefficient of $x^2$ which is 2.

$x^2 + 6x=\frac{7}{2}$

Step 3: Divide the coefficient of x by 2, square it and add it to both sides.

Coefficient of x=6

Divided by 2=3

Square of 3= $3^2$

Therefore, we have:

$x^2 + 6x+3^2=\frac{7}{2}+3^2$

Step 4: Write the Left Hand side in the form $(x+k)^2$

$(x+3)^2=\frac{7}{2}+3^2\\(x+3)^2=12.5\\$

Step 5: Take the square root of both sides and solve for x

$x+3=\pm\sqrt{12.5}\\x=-3\pm \sqrt{12.5}\\x=-3+ \sqrt{12.5}, $ or $x= -3- \sqrt{12.5}\\$x=0.5355 or x=-6.5355$

Which system of inequalities is shown? A. Y>x y<2 b. Y 2 D. Y>x y>2

AURORKA [14]

Answer: y > x, y > 2

The horizontal line goes through 2 on the y axis. This boundary line is represented by the equation y = 2, since every point on this line has a y coord of 2. The shading above it means that the inequality is y > 2. Every point in the shaded region of y > 2 has a y coord that is larger than 2.

The other inequality is y > x because we shade above the dashed boundary line y = x, which is that slanted dashed line.

Combining the two regions of y > 2 and y > x leads to what is shown.
