Answer:
n = 6 + 
or n = 6 -
Step-by-step explanation:
We can solve this equation using the quadratic formula OR Completing the Square method.
n² + 14 = 12n
rearrange : n² - 12n + 14 = 0
here a= 1 , b = -12, c = 14
the quadratic formula says: x = - b/ (2a) + root(b^2 - 4ac) / (2a)
or x = - b/ (2a) - root(b^2 - 4ac) / (2a)
x = - (-12)/ (2) + root((-12)^2 - 4*14) / (2)
x = 6 + root (144 - 56) / 2
x = 6 + root(88)/2
x = 6 + root(4*22) / 2
x = 6 + 2*root(22)/2
x = 6 + root(22) = 6 +
so x =6 + or x = 6 -
In this case x = n
n = 6 + or n = 6 -
Answer:
x = - 1, x = - 11
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
2| x + 6 | - 4 = 6 ( add 4 to both sides )
2|x + 6 | = 10 ( divide both sides by 2 )
| x + 6 | = 5
The absolute value function always gives a positive result, but the expression inside can be positive or negative, that is
x + 6 = 5 or - (x + 6) = 5
solve both
x + 6 = 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )
x = - 1
or
- (x + 6) = 5 , that is
- x - 6 = 5 ( add 6 to both sides )
- x = 11 ( multiply both sides by - 1 )
x = - 11
We can simplify it a bit
oh wait,
remember taht x^0=1, no matter what x is
we see the whole thing is to the zero power
the whole thing is equal to 1
doesn't matter what x or y is
the whole thing evaluates to 1
C. Yes because it passes the vertical line test
