"-y (less than or greater than sign) 136" translates into two separate inequalities:


-y < 136 and -y > 136.


You want to solve for y in each case. To do this, multiply each inequality by "-1" and then immediately change the direction of the inequality sign.


For example: -1(-y < 136) => y > -136.

Answers:

  1. C) x = plus/minus 11
  2. B) No real solutions
  3. C) Two solutions
  4. A) One solution
  5. The value <u>  18  </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u>  17  </u> goes in the second blank.

========================================================

Explanations:

  1. Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
  2. There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
  3. The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
  4. We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
  5. Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.
