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

1. Is the product of √16 and 4/7 rational or irrational? Explain your reasoning.
Mandarinka [93]

1) Rational because the square root of 16 is 4 and 4 times 4/7 is a rational number (16/7)

2) Irrational because square root of 684 is irrational C

3) The square root of a is irrational so the answer is irrational. The square root of c is rational so the answer is rational.

4) Jacob is wrong because the square root of 5/7 is irrational so the answer to the problem is irrational.

Find the approximate side length of a square game board with an area of 105 in2.
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Rounded to the nearest inch: 10

Rounded to the nearest tenth: 10.2

Rounded to the nearest hundredth: 10.25

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a square, we multiply the side length by itself, or in other words, SQUARE the side length!

A=s^2

We are given the area, so plugging that into our equation looks like this:

105=s^2

To eliminate the exponent, take the square root of both sides of the equation!

\sqrt{105}=s

From here, there are a few paths to take, depending on what your teacher is looking for. I will evaluate the approximate of the square root by finding the nearest perfect squares.

The nearest perfect square less than √105 is √100, and the nearest perfect square greater than √105 is √121.

105 is closer to 100 than to 121, so √105 is closer to √100.

√100 is equal to 10, so the √105 is approximately 10 inches!

Using a calculator to check:

\sqrt{105}=10.247 inches

Write an expression to represent: The sum of ten and the quotient of a number x and 6.
Minchanka [31]
Let us break it down. A sum of ten. That is just 

+10

Then, we will add that to the quotient (which is the number after dividing) of a number x and 6. We can write that as 

+ x/6

The slash means division here. Thus your final answer is 


10 + x/6
