Answer:

x_{1}=-1+\sqrt{17},\:x_{2}=-1-\sqrt{17}

Step-by-step explanation:

Quadratic Equation Given:

x^2+2x-16=0

x^2 + 2x=16

$c=\left( \frac{b}{2} \right)^2 $

x^2 + 2x+1=16+1

(x+1)^2=17\\

x+1=\pm \sqrt{17} \\

x=-1 \pm \sqrt{17} \\

x_{1}=-1+\sqrt{17},\:x_{2}=-1-\sqrt{17}

This means Square root (^1/2). this is kind of hard to read. anyways. 32^(1/2) separates into 4^(1/2) and 8^(1/2), which further separates into 4^(1/2) and 2^(1/2), root 4 becomes 2, their are two root 4's, so you get 2 x 2, and you are left with 2^(1/2) now why go to all this trouble. because now you can multiply the 4 you created (2x2) times, the 7... giving you 28*2^(1/2) now subtract it from the the other one with root 2. -5*2^(1/2), giving you 23*2^(1/2)-...idk what that last bit is. if its a odd number then this is the end of the problem, if you can get it to root 2. then do that and simplify.

If f(x) = -9x +9 and g(x)+squroot x+1, what is (f degree sign g) 24
Leno4ka [110]
(f ° g) (x) means the composition of the two functions in this order f (g (x) )

So, given f(x) = - 9x + 9 and g(x) = √(x + 1),  you must do this:

f(g(x)) = - 9 [ g(x) ] + 9 = - 9 [√(x+1) ] + 9 => f(g(24) = - 9 √(24 + 1) + 9 = - 9√25 + 9 =

= -9(5) + 9 = -45 + 9 = - 36

Answer: - 36
