Step-by-step explanation: This is a ration problem. First, convert all feet into inches and then set up the problem. 17 inches is to 2 inches as 588 inches is to x
17/2 = 558/x
If we divide 588 by 17 that will give us 34.6, the factor we need to multiply 2 by to get inches., which is 69.2.
·=. This can be simplified to 5x, because √50 simplifies to 5√2 (since 5x5x2 equals 50) and the square root sign takes x² from x³ and turns it into just x.
9^-2 = 1/81 or 0.0123 When there is a negative in front of the exponent it makes a fraction. It is usually just 1/the number it equals if it were positive.
If x=n then it would have 2 solutions because it would be x^2 = c which has a positive and negative solution but idk if that is what you are asking for
