Answer:
36 : 6 and -6
12 =
1.96 =1.4 and -1.4
0.64 : 0.8 and -0.8
400 : 20 and -20
25/36 = 5/6 and -5/6
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
(-x)^2 = x^2
ALSO
(x)^2 = x^2
thus, square of both negative and positive number is same positive number.
_________________________________________________
36 = 6*6
36 = -6*-6
hence
square roots of 36 is both -6 and 6
12 = 4*3 =
also
12 =
___________________________________
1.96 = 196/100 = (14/10)^2
1.96 = 196/100 = (-14/10)^2
hence
_______________________________
0.64 = 64/100 = (8/10)^2 = 0.8^2
0.64 = 64/100 = (-8/10)^2 = (-0.8)^2
Thus, square root of 0.64 = 0.8 and -0.8
_________________________________
400 = 20^2
400 = (-20)^2
__________________________________
25/36 = (5/6)^2
25/36 = (-5/6)^2
Answer:
• x = -4, x = 0, x = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
x is a factor of all terms, so x=0 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 1 and 5.)
The sum of coefficients is 0, so x=1 is a zero. (Eliminates choices 3 and 4.)
Reversing the sign of the odd-degree terms gives signs of -++, so there is one sign change, hence one negative real root (by Descartes' rule of signs). This confirms choice 2 as the answer.
___
Of course, your graphing calculator can answer this almost as quickly.
