$x=-5\\\\|(-5)-7| = \\(-5)-7=-12\\\\Therefore, \\\boxed{|(-5)-7|=12}$

Remember that there cannot be a negative number in an absolute value.

How do I graph that

nika2105 [10]

Start by finding the vertex, which is the point the parabola turns. The x value is -b/2a, which you have in your notes here. b = -8 and a = 2 and therefore the x value of the vertex is 2. Plug that in to find the y value, which is -2.

Start by plotting this point and the y intercept, which is 6. The parabola will be a U shape, which goes upwards starting at the vertex. If you draw that using the side with the y intercept, you can just mirror it on the other side of the vertex.

Solve: (2x - 3)^2 = -4

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

No real solutions;

$x=i+1.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The easiest method to solve an algebraic equation is to use inverse operations. This applies to the given equation;

$(2x-3)^2=-4\\$

- Take the square root of both sides

$\sqrt{}$

==================================================================

As one can see, the right side is a negative number. However, one cannot take the square root of a negative number and get a real result. Therefore, one must use imaginary numbers. Remember, the imaginary unit ( $i$ ) represents ( $\sqrt{-1}$ ).
