Answer: x = 2 • ± √2 = ± 2.8284

Step-by-step explanation:

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A2 - B2  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =

        A2 - AB + BA - B2 =

        A2 - AB + AB - B2 =  

        A2 - B2

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.  

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 8 is not a square !!  

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares.

Equation at the end of step  1  :

 x2 - 8  = 0  

Step  2  :

Solving a Single Variable Equation :

2.1      Solve  :    x2-8 = 0  

Add  8  to both sides of the equation :  

                     x2 = 8  

 

When two things are equal, their square roots are equal. Taking the square root of the two sides of the equation we get:  

                     x  =  ± √ 8  

Can  √ 8 be simplified ?

Yes!   The prime factorization of  8   is

  2•2•2  

To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be  2  instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).

√ 8   =  √ 2•2•2   =

               ±  2 • √ 2  

The equation has two real solutions  

These solutions are  x = 2 • ± √2 = ± 2.8284  

 

Two solutions were found :

                  x = 2 • ± √2 = ± 2.8284

Not sure what you need help with, but I hope I helped you somehow.

6-2x=5x-9x+12 what is the value of x<br><br> its for savvas realize
Sidana [21]

Answer:like terms: 5x + -9x = -4x 6 + -2x = -12 + -4x Solving 6 + -2x = -12 + -4x Solving for variable 'x'.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 - 2x = 5x - 9x + 18 - 12 6 - 2x = -4x + 6 -2x = -4x 4x - 2x = 0 2x = 0 x = 0 / 2 x = 0.

Which statement is true about the function f(x)= StartRoot negative x EndRoot?
sveticcg [70]

Because x is negative the domain of the function is all negative real numbers.

Set the radical greater than or equal to 0:

-x >= 0

Turn x positive by multiplying both sides by -1. When you multiply an inequality by -1 you need to reverse the inequality sign:

X <= 0

Domain is all real numbers below 0 so all negative real numbers.

Where does the graph of y = 4x + 24 intersect the x-axis?
ehidna [41]

Answer:

(-6, 0)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 4x + 24

Plug y = 0

0 = 4x + 24

4x = - 24

x = - 24/4

x = - 6

So, the graph of y = 4x + 24 intersect the x-axis at (-6, 0)
