What method would you choose to solve the equation 2x^2-7=9

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)

Express the given expanded numeral as a Hindu-Arabic numeral. (8x102) +(4x10)(2x1)
Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

The Hindu-Arabic numeral form of the given expanded numeral is 842.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expanded numeral is

(8\times 10^2)+(4\times 10)+(2\times 1)

We need to express the given expanded numeral as a Hindu-Arabic numeral.

According to Hindu-Arabic numeral the given expanded numeral is written as

(8\times 10^2)+(4\times 10)+(2\times 1)=(8\times 100)+(4\times 10)+(2\times 1)

On simplification we get,

(8\times 10^2)+(4\times 10)+(2\times 1)=(800)+(40)+(2)

(8\times 10^2)+(4\times 10)+(2\times 1)=842

Therefore the Hindu-Arabic numeral form of the given expanded numeral is 842.
