The equation x^2-9=0 has how many real solutions

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]3 years ago
6 0

So remember that the <u>degree of the polynomial will indicate how many solutions there are, real or complex.</u> Since the degree of the polynomial is 2, this means that there is a maximum of 2 real solutions in this equation.

Next, we are going to apply the difference of squares rule to this polynomial, which is x^2-y^2=(x+y)(x-y) . In this case:

x^2-9=(x+3)(x-3)\\(x+3)(x-3)=0

Now, we are going to apply the Zero Product Property, which states that if a × b = 0, this means that either a or b = 0 or a and b = 0. In this case, a = x + 3 and b = x - 3. Solve each as such:

x+3=0\\x=-3\\\\x-3=0\\x=3

<u>In short, there are 2 real solutions: x = 3 and x = -3.</u>

At a bargain store.Tanya bought 5 items that each cost the same amount. Tony bought 6 items that each cost the same amount, but
Ray Of Light [21]

(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...

... 5x = 6(x -1.75)

(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.

... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x

... 0 = x -10.50

... 10.50 = x

(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50

... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value

(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.
