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)

Which function has an inverse that is not a function?
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

your choice is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x^2 does not pass the horizontal line test (a horizontal line intersects its graph in two places), so its inverse does not pass the vertical line test. The inverse is not a function.

_____

Comment on the graph

The original function f(x)=x^2 is shown by the red curve. Its reflection across the orange dashed line y=x gives the inverse relation, in blue. The black horizontal and vertical lines show the multiple points of intersection with the curves, indicating the inverse relation is not a function.
