Answer:
x=4
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = x^2 - 8x+16
Set equal to zero
0 = x^2 -8x +16
Factor
what 2 numbers multiply to 16 and add to -8
-4*-4 = 16
-4+-4 = -8
0= (x-4)(x-4)
Using the zero product property
x-4 = 0 x-4 =0
x=4 x=4
I think it's 20. Sorry if it's wrong
Let's do this step by step:
Subtract both sides by 7
-2|x-4|= -10
Divide each side by -2
|x-4|= 5
Now since this is an absolute value equation, you will have two answers. This means you make the equation both positive and negative.
X-4= 5and -(x-4)= 5
Solve for x for both
X-4= 5: add four on both sides
X= 9
-x+ 4= 5: subtract 4 and divide by -1
X= -1
So your answer is: X= -1 , 9
1/2 x s, where s equals 3/10 means,
(1/2) x (3/10) which will give (3/20)
You simply multiply the numerators to get 3 and the denominators to get 20.
