Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2 + 8x + 8
factor the 2 out : 2(x^2 + 4x + 4)
2(x + 2)^2
x = -2
The answer would be 237.375. To get this answer, you will first use the formula given for each unit. First, you will do the first unit by putting 8 to the third power, or basically 8x8x8. After you get the product 512, you will then do the next unit. Do that one by doing 6.5 to the third power, or as followed, 6.5x6.5x6.5. Once you get the product 274.625, you will then subtract that from 512. You will then receive the answer 237.375.
Actually,
I think the question should be, "In what range(s) of x-values must
there be a root of the POLYNOMIAL?"
Unless you are working with some real strange maths, polynomials are
smooth and continuous. If you drew a smooth and continuous line through
the points in the graph, where would the line have to cross the x-axis?
-2 -13.8x = -8 -6x -1
First, I distributed the negative 1 that was outside of the parentheses to the positive 6x and the positive 1.
-2 -13.8x = -9 -6x
Then I added the negative 8 to the negative 1 which equals negative 9.
-2 -13.8x +6x = -9 -6x +6x
After that I used the addition property and added a positive 6x to both sides.
-2 -7.8x = -9
Then simplifying.
+2 -2 -7.8x = -9 +2
After simplifying, I used the addition property again, adding a positive 2 to both sides.
-7.8x = -7
Simplified.
-7.8x (-1) = -7 (-1)
Then I multiplied both sides by with a negative 1 since the variable cannot be a negative.
7.8x = 7
Simplified
(1/7.8) 7.8x = (1/7.8) 7
Then, to isolate the veriable, I multiplied 1/7.8 to both sides.
x = 1.11428571429
The answer !
I hope this helped !
