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

This table gives a few (x, y) pairs of a line in the coordinate plane. What is the x-intercept of the line?
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

<em>x=-14</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The x-intercept of a line is the value of x that makes y=0.

A line can be expressed in its slope-intercept form:

y=mx+b

Once determined the equation of the line, the x-intercept can be calculated by setting y=0 and solving for x.

Let's find the slope of the line.

Suppose we know the line passes through two points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

Let's pick the first two points of the table (-94,24) (-74,18). The slope is:

\displaystyle m=\frac{18-24}{-74+94}=\frac{-6}{20}=-\frac{3}{10}

The equation of the line is:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{10}x+b

Now use one of the points to find b, for example (-94,24):

\displaystyle 24=-\frac{3}{10}\cdot (-94)+b

Operating:

\displaystyle 24=\frac{141}{5}+b

Solving:

b=24-\frac{141}{5}=-\frac{21}{5}

The complete equation of the line is:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{3}{10}x-\frac{21}{5}

To find the x-incercept, set y=0 and solve:

\displaystyle 0=-\frac{3}{10}x-\frac{21}{5}

\displaystyle x=\frac{\frac{21}{5}}{-\frac{3}{10}}=-\frac{21}{5}\cdot \frac{10}{3}

x=-14

The axis of symmetry for the graph of the function f(x) =
lara [203]

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

y =  - x {}^{2}  + bx + 10 \\ y =  - (x {}^{2}  - bx - 10) \\ y =  -( (x -  \frac{b}{2} ) {}^{2}  -  \frac{b {}^{2} }{4}  - 10) \\ y =  - (x -  \frac{b}{2} ) {}^{2}  + 10 +  \frac{b {}^{2} }{4}  \\  \\ therefore \:  \frac{b}{2}  = 6 \\ b = 12
