Assuming you mean
(x-2)²=49
sqare root both sides and take positive and negative roots
x-2=+/-7
add 2 to both sides
x=2+/-7
x=2+7 and 2-7
x=9 and -5
It is less than 1, because 1/2 is also .5, so that is already less than 1 whole.
Also, any number under 6 divided by 6 (for example: 5 divided by 6, 3 divided by 6) has to be less than one, since 6 can't evenly go into a number lower than it.
Answer:
11/5
Step-by-step explanation:
FirLet a and b be the roots of 11x^2-4x-2=0
Now
Dividing the quadratic equation by 11 we have

Now the sum of the roots is the minus of the coefficient of x and the product of the roots is the constant. Therefore

and we have
