Answer:
x = 2 x = -6
Step-by-step explanation:
2 (x+2) ^2-4=28
Add 4 to each side
2 (x+2) ^2-4+4=28+4
2 (x+2) ^2= 32
Divide by 2
2/2 (x+2) ^2=32/2
(x+2)^2 = 16
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x+2)^2) =±sqrt( 16)
x+2 = ±4
Subtract 2 from each side
x+2-2 = -2±4
x = -2±4
x = -2+4 and x = -2-4
x = 2 x = -6

A) True. The domain of both is: x ≥ 0
B) True. 1/2 is on the outside so it is vertical. 1/2 is between 0 and 1 so it shrinks.
C) False. the coefficient is not 2 (it is 1/2)
D) False. 1/2 is not on the inside with "x" so it is not horizontal.
Answer: A, B
There is a way to do this algebraically using equations, but it is really messy so I am going to go over the way to do it. The way you do this is by finding whole numbers that multiply to make -192. Start with 1 and 192, 2 and 96, 3 and 64, etc and make the smaller number negative.
The reason why you make the smaller number negative is because we are looking for what numbers add together to make a positive number (10). If the bigger number was negative, then we would get a negative sum.
From what i could find, there aren't any whole numbers that satisfy this, and i doubt that the question would want you to find decimals for this.
The way to find this with equations (in short) is to have to variables, x and y, and make two equations. in this case x+y=10 and xy=-192. Solve one equation for a variable and then use substitution to plug that variable into the other equation. if you do this you get really long decimals.
