A^2+14a-51=0
Add 51 to both sides
a^2+14a-51+51=0+51
a^2+14a=51
add (14/2)^2
a^2+14a+(14/2)^2=100
Solve a+7=+sqrt 100: a=3
Solve a-7 = -sqrt 100: a=-17
a=3 a=-17

Steps if you have ax^2+bx+c=0
1. put vairable on other side (-c from both sides)
2. make sure that leading term is 1 (ax^2+bx+c=0 where a=1)
3. take half of  b and square it

so
a^2+14a-51=0
move c to other side
add 51 to both sides
a^2+14a=51
leading term is 1
take 1/2 of b and square
14/2=7, 7^2=49
add that to both sides
a^2+14a+49=51+49
factor perfect square
(a+7)^2=100
square root both sides
a+7=+/-10

a+7=10
a+7=-10


a+7=10
minus 7
a=3

a+7=-10
subtract 7
a=-17


a=3 or -17

Which of the following is a polynomial?
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Terms are separated by addition and subtraction symbols.

Polynomials consist of terms that are constant and/or variable. The variable terms must have 0 or positive exponents. Polynomials will not consist of division of variable expressions.

Examples of polynomials:

5

5x

6-x

24x^9-x

Examples of non-polynomials:

\sqrt{x}

\frac{x+2}{x-4}

In general a polynomial when written in standard form should be comparable to:

a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+\cdots a_3x^3+a_2x^2+a_1x+a_0

where the a's could be zero and all the exponents,n, are positive or 0.

D is comparable since all of these are 0 except x_4 which is 1 and x_0 which is -2.

Also the other choices have either division by variable expressions and/or negative exponents on variables.
