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

A basketball player averages 22.5 points scored per game with a standard deviation of 6.2 points. In one game, the number of poi
MAVERICK [17]

Answer: 15.06

Step-by-step explanation:

Average points per game (mean) (m) = 22.5

Standard deviation (sd) = 6.2

Number of point scored in a game is 1.2 standard deviations below the mean, how many points below average was the value

1.2 standard deviations = (1.2 * value of standard deviation) = (1.2 × 6.2) = 7.44

Hence, 1.2 standard deviations below the mean equals :

Mean - 7.44

22.5 - 7.44 = 15.06

Hence, score = 15.06

In a trapezoid the lengths of bases are 11 and 18. The lengths of legs are 3 and 7. The extensions of the legs meet at some poin
FrozenT [24]

Answer: The length of segments between this point and the vertices of greater base are 7\frac{5}{7} and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let ABCD is the trapezoid, ( shown in below diagram)

In which AB is the greater base and AB = 18 DC= 11, AD= 3 and BC = 7

Let P is the point where The extended legs meet,

So, according to the question, we have to find out : AP and BP

In Δ APB and Δ DPC,

∠ DPC ≅ ∠APB ( reflexive)

∠ PDC ≅ ∠ PAB    ( By alternative interior angle theorem)

And, ∠ PCD ≅ ∠ PBA  ( By alternative interior angle theorem)

Therefore, By AAA similarity postulate,

\triangle APB\sim \triangle D PC

Let, DP =x

⇒ \frac{3+x}{18} = \frac{x}{11}

⇒  33 +11x = 18x

⇒ x = 33/7= 4\frac{5}{7}

Thus, PD= 4\frac{5}{7}

But, AP= PD + DA

AP= 4\frac{5}{7}+3 =7\frac{5}{7}

Now, let PC =y,

⇒ \frac{7+y}{18} = \frac{y}{11}

⇒ 77 + 11y = 18y

⇒ y = 77/7 = 11

Thus, PC= 11

But, PB= PC + CB

PB= 11+7 = 18
