(x-1)² = 50
x-1 = <span>±</span>√50

x-1 = -5√2 or x-1 = 5√2
x = 1-5√2 x = 1+5√2

(x-1)²=50
Square root both side
√(x-1)²=√50
x-1=±√50
Add 1 to each side
x-1+1=1±5√2
x=1±5√2 is your correct answer and if you want me to solve it, here will be the answer.
x=1±5√2
x=1+5√2
x≈8.1

x=1-5√2
x≈-6.1. Hope it help!

You have a rack that can hold 30 CDs. You can fit 7 more CDs on the rack before the rack is full. How many CDs are in the rack?

X = number of cds on the rack

x + 7 = 30
x = 30 - 7
x = 23 <== so there are currently 23 cds on the rack

What is the quotient StartFraction 15 p Superscript negative 4 Baseline q Superscript negative 6 Baseline Over negative 20 p Sup

zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

$- \frac{3}{4} \times \frac{p^{8} }{q^{3} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the quotient of the following division, $\frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6} }{- 20p^{-12} q^{-3}}$ .

Now, $\frac{15p^{-4}q^{-6} }{- 20p^{-12} q^{-3}}$

= $- \frac{3}{4} p^{[- 4 - (- 12)]} q^{[-6 - (- 3)]}$ {Since all the terms in the expression are in product form, so we can treat them separately}
