ANSWER

$x = - 3 \: \: or \: \: x = 3$

The degree is two so it must have more than one solution.

EXPLANATION

The given equation is

${x}^{2} = 9$

Let us use the square root method to solve this equation.

Since the degree of x is two, the <em>fundamental theorem of algebra</em> says it must have 2 roots.

We take square root to obtain,

$x = \pm \sqrt{9}$

$x = \pm3$

Split the plus or minus sign to obtain,

$x = - 3 \: \: or \: \: x = 3$

Answer:

194

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall 2 rules to solve this easily:

1. $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

2. $(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2$

<em>Now, if we let a = 7 and $b=4\sqrt{3}$ , we can say the problem is basically of the form:</em>

$(a+b)^2 + (a-b)^2$

This can be simplified using the rules:

$(a+b)^2 + (a-b)^2\\a^2+2ab+b^2+a^2-2ab+b^2\\2a^2+2b^2$

Now we can plug the values of a and b we initially thought of (remember though $\sqrt{x} \sqrt{x} =x$ ):

$2a^2+2b^2\\2(7)^2+2(4\sqrt{3})^2\\ 2(49)+2(4\sqrt{3})(4\sqrt{3})\\98+2(4)(4)(\sqrt{3} )(\sqrt{3} )\\98+2(4)(4)(3)\\98+96 \\194$

194 is the final answer.

To find the mean, you add all of the numbers up and then divide by how many numbers there are. Mean is also known as the average. To find the medium, you have to list all the numbers in order then cross them out to find the middle. To find the mode, you find how many numbers are the same and count the number with the most repeats.
Ex for mean.) 5 + 2 + 5 = 15. 15/3 because there are 3 numbers in the equation. 15/3 = 5. The mean is 5.
Ex for median.) 1 2 2 3 4 5 7 9 9. 4 is in the middle so it is the median.
Ex for mode) 34 35 34 34 32 7. There are more 34s than any other number so 34 is your mode.
