First we'll do two basic steps. Step 1 is to subtract 18 from both sides. After that, divide both sides by 2 to get x^2 all by itself. Let's do those two steps now

2x^2+18 = 10
2x^2+18-18 = 10-18 <<--- step 1
2x^2 = -8
(2x^2)/2 = -8/2 <<--- step 2
x^2 = -4

At this point, it should be fairly clear there are no solutions. How can we tell? By remembering that x^2 is never negative as long as x is real. 

Using the rule that negative times negative is a positive value, it is impossible to square a real numbered value and get a negative result. 

For example
2^2 = 2*2 = 4
8^2 = 8*8 = 64
(-10)^2 = (-10)*(-10) = 100
(-14)^2 = (-14)*(-14) = 196

No matter what value we pick, the result is positive. The only exception is that 0^2 = 0 is neither positive nor negative.

So x^2 = -4 has no real solutions. Taking the square root of both sides leads to

x^2 = -4
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-4)
|x| = sqrt(4)*sqrt(-1)
|x| = 2*i
x = 2i or x = -2i
which are complex non-real values

Find the area of the irregular figure. Round to the nearest hundredth.
RSB [31]

Answer:

67.5\text{ [square units]}

Step-by-step explanation:

The composite figure consists of one rectangle and two triangles. We can add up the area of these individual shapes to find the total area of the irregular figure.

<u>Formulas</u>:

  • Area of rectangle with base b and height h: A=bh
  • Area of triangle with base b and height h: A=\frac{1}{2}bh

By definition, the base and height must intersect at a 90 degree angle.

The rectangle has a base of 10 and a height of 5. Therefore, its area is A=10\cdot 5=50.

The smaller triangle to the left of the rectangle has a base of 2 and a height of 5. Therefore, its area is A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 2\cdot 5=5.

Finally, the larger triangle on top of the rectangle has a base of 5 and a height of 5. Therefore, its area is A=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 5\cdot 5=12.5.

Thus, the area of the total irregular figure is:

50+5+12.5=\boxed{67.5\text{ [square units]}}

Use the zero product property to find the solution to the equation x^2 +12=7x
pochemuha
X2 + 12 = 7x x2 – 7x + 12 = 0factor the equation (x – 3 ) ( x – 4 ) = 0 Then equating both factor to 0 X – 3 = 0 X = 3 And X – 4 = 0 X = 4 So the answer is X = 3 X =4
