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>

Ginnie plans to paint a wall. She measures its height and width. She finds that she needs enough paint to cover 8 square meters.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The 8 square meters represent the product of the height by the width of the wall and therefore, its area.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ginnie is going to paint a wall and measures the height and the width, the walls are usually in the form of a rectangle or square. To find the area of both we need to multiply the height by the width (in the case of the square both are the same) and this will give us the total amount of paint that we need to paint the wall.

In this example, Ginnie finds that she needs enough paint to cover 8 square meters, therefore, these 8 square meters represent the product of the height by the width (that we don't know but it doesn't matter) of the wall and therefore, its area.

a total of $9500 is invested, part at 10% simple interest and part at 9%. if the total annual return from the two investments is
Nutka1998 [239]

a total of $9500 is invested, part at 10% simple interest and part at 9%

if the total annual return from the two investments is $914.00

Amount invested = 9500

Total amount return means total yield = $914

Let x amount  is invested at 10% simple interest

Interest for first part =  10 % times x = 0.10x

Remaining part invested is 9500 -x

Interest for remaining amount = 9% (9500 -x) = 0.09(9500-x)

Total interest yield is 914. Now we frame an equation

0.10x + 0.09(9500-x) = 914

0.10x +855 - 0.09x = 914 (combine like terms)

0.01 x + 855 = 914 (subtract 855)

0.01x = 59 ( divide both sides by 0.01)

So x = 5900

$5900 is invested in 10% simple interest

9500 - 5900 = $3600 is invested in 9% simple interest
