Add the numbers up, then take the percentage sign away and there you have it! A number all fresh, new and crisp!
x² - 14x + 46 = 0
subtract 46 from both-side
x² - 14x = -46
Add the square of the half of the co-efficient of x
x² - 14x + (-7)² = -46 + 7²
(x-7)² = -46 + 49
(x-7)² =3
Take the square root of both-side
x-7 = ±√3
x-7= ±1.732
Add 7 to both-side of the equation.
x= 7 ± 1.732
Eithe x= 7 + 1.732 or x= 7 - 1.732
x=8.732 or x=5.268
Therefore x = 8.732 , 5.268
On top: (-2)³ = -2 × -2 × -2 = -8
(x²)³ = x^6 (the exponents multiply)
and of course, (y)³ = y³
On the bottom: (xy²z)² = x² y^4 z²
(-yz)² = y²z²
Multiplying these together, the exponents add and we get x² y^6 z^4.
So, your reasoning is correct for what you have so far.
Your next step would be cancelling shared factors from the top and bottom.
Just like with regular fractions, if the numerator and denominator are divisible by the same number, you can divide them by it to simplify. (ex: 4/6 = 2/3)
Well, x^6 and x^2 are both divisible by x^2, right?
We can also cancel the y^3.
It might help to visualise the factors like this:
Once you've cancelled out x² and y³ from each, you're left with
The answer is probably isosceles, because if the angles and congruent, the sides are congruent as well.
