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

Mathematics
1 answer:
Marina CMI [18]2 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>

What is the value of x? inscribed angles
Flura [38]

The value of x is 84°.

Solution:

Measure of intercepted arc = 168°

Measure of angle x = ?

<u>Tangent-chord relationship:</u>

<em>If a tangent and a chord intersect at a point, then the measure of each angle formed is half of the measure of its intercepted arc.</em>

$\Rightarrow \angle x = \frac{1}{2}\times 168^\circ

$\Rightarrow \angle x = 84^\circ

The value of x is 84°.

Gaming a video-game designer is using the expression 6n3 in a program to determine points earned, where n is the game level.

Given expression is 6n^3. the given expression is for the nth level.

To simplify the expression for the  n^2 level, we plug in n^2  in the place of 'n' in the given expression

6n^3

6(n^2)^3 (multiply the exponents)

6n^6
