Step-by-step explanation:
Given
4
- 5a² + 1 = 0
Use the substitution u = a², then equation is
4u² - 5u + 1 = 0
Consider the product of the coefficient of the u² term and the constant term
product = 4 × 1 = 4 and sum = - 5
The factors are - 4 and - 1
Use these factors to split the u- term
4u² - 4u - u + 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
4u(u - 1) - 1(u - 1) = 0 ← factor out (u - 1) from each term
(u - 1)(4u - 1) = 0
Equate each factor to zero and solve for u
u - 1 = 0 ⇒ u = 1
4u - 1 = 0 ⇒ 4u = 1 ⇒ u = 
Convert u back into terms of a, that is
a² = 1 ⇒ a = ± 1
a² =
⇒ a = ± 
Solutions are a = ± 1 , a = ± 
Answer:
1 inch equals 8 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that;
Abigail drew a scale drawing of the oldest house in her town.
The actual length of the house = 64 feet long
Abigail scale drawing = 8 inches long
The scale he used in drawing the house is determined by choosing a perfect scale:
i.e
If 8 inches is used to draw an actual length of a house which is 64 feet long,
Then 1 inch should be able to draw (64 feet * 1 inch)/ 8 inches
So, 1 inch should be able to draw 8 feet long
Here is one way to solve for x.
Step 1) 2x^2-7=9
Step 2) 2x^2-7+7=9+7
Step 3) 2x^2=16
Step 4) (2x^2)/2=16/2
Step 5) x^2=8
Step 6) sqrt(x^2)=sqrt(8)
Step 7) |x|=sqrt(8)
Step 8) x=sqrt(8) or x=-sqrt(8)
-------------------------------------
Below are explanations/reasons to each of the steps above.
Step 1) Original equation
Step 2) Add 7 to both sides
Step 3) Combine like terms
Step 4) Divide both sides by 2
Step 5) Simplify
Step 6) Apply the square root to both sides. The notation "sqrt" is shorthand for "square root"
Step 7) Use the rule that sqrt(x^2) = |x| for all real numbers x
Step 8) Use the rule that if |x| = k then x = k or x = -k for some fixed number k.
-------------------------------------
The two solutions are
x = sqrt(8) or x = -sqrt(8)
