Radical Equation:

1. Isolate the radical expression.

2. Square both sides of the equation: If x = y then x2 = y2.

3. Once the radical is removed, solve for the unknown.

4. Check all answers.

Another way of saying it:

1. Isolate the radical expression involving the variable. ...

2. Raise both sides of the equation to the index of the radical.

3. If there is still a radical equation, repeat steps 1 and 2; otherwise, solve the resulting equation and check the answer in the original equation.

88511, 16351, ?, 10251 missing number in sequence

Mrac [35]

Step-by-step explanation:

this is really complicated and tricky.

to create the next number, you have to add the first 2 digits of the previous number, then subtract the 3rd from the 2nd digit, multiply the 3rd and the 4th digit, and finally divide the 4th digit by the 5th.

so,

8+8 = 16

8-5 = 3

5×1 = 5

1/1 = 1

giving 16351 as next number.

the missing number we get then

1+6 = 7

6-3 = 3

3×5 = 15

5/1 = 5

giving 73155 as the next (missing) number.

control :

7+3 = 10

3-1 = 2

1×5 = 5

5/5 = 1

gives us 10251 as next number - correct.

but then it will end

1+0 = 1

0-2 = -2 ???? take the absolute value ?

2×5 = 10

5/1 = 5

Which Two Numbers Add Up To Negative 26 And Multiply To 11?

Fynjy0 [20]

Xy=11
x+y=-26

x+y=-26
minus x both sides
y=-26-x

sub for y
x(-26-x)=11
-26x-x^2=11
add 26x+x^2 both sides
x^2+26x+11=0

ax^2+bx+c=0
x= $\frac{-b+/- \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$

a=1
b=26
c=11

x= $\frac{-26+/-\sqrt{26^{2}-4(1)(11)} }{2(1)}$
x= $\frac{-26+/-\sqrt{676-44} }{2}$
x= $\frac{-26+/-\sqrt{632} }{2}$
x= $\frac{-26+/-2\sqrt{158} }{2}$
x= $-13+/-\sqrt{158}$

x= $-13+\sqrt{158}$ or $-13-\sqrt{158}$

aprox

x=-0.420195 or -25.5698

those are the numbers
