Use the power rule

$(a^b)^c = a^{bc}$

To rewrite the equation as

$9^{2p} = 9^8$

So, the two exponents have to be the same:

$2p = 8 \iff p=4$

What are the zeros of the function f(x) = x2 + 5x + 5 written in simplest radical form? Quadratic formula: x = StartFraction neg

Harman [31]

Answer:

$x=\frac{-5(+/-)\sqrt{5}} {2}$

x = StartFraction negative 5 plus or minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$f(x)=x^{2} +5x+5$

equate the function to zero

$x^{2} +5x+5=0$

$a=1\\b=5\\c=5$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-5(+/-)\sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(5)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-5(+/-)\sqrt{5}} {2}$

therefore

x = StartFraction negative 5 plus or minus StartRoot 5 EndRoot Over 2 EndFraction
