The square of a number exceeds the number by 72. Find the number

1 answer:

8 0

X^2 = x + 72 you have a quadratic.
x^2 - x - 72 = 0
(x - 9)*(x + 8) = 0
x = 9 or x = - 8

We have to check this one. One of the answers could be wrong.
9^2 = 9 + 72
81 = 81 This one checks out and is OK.

(-8)^2 = -8 + 72
64 = - 8 + 72
64 = 64.
Both answers work.

How to solve 2X^2+Y^2 = X^2-Y^2

arlik [135]

$2x^2+y^2 = x^2-y^2\\\\
2x^2 - x^2 + y^2 + y^2 = 0\\\\
x^2 + 2y^2=0\\\\
x^2 = 0~~~\Longrightarrow~~~\boxed{x=0}\\\\
2y^2 = 0~~~\Longrightarrow~~~y^2 = 0~~~\Longrightarrow~~~\boxed{y=0}\\\\

Answer:

On the circle

Step-by-step explanation:

Because all of the points on a circle are equidistant from the center, if a circle has a radius of 10 then all of the points are 10 units from the center. Using the Pythagorean Theorem, you know that the distance from (4,0) to (-2,8) is:

$\sqrt{(4-(-2))^2+(8-0)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+8^2}=\sqrt{36+64}=\sqrt{100}=10$ , meaning that it is on the circle. Hope this helps!
