Answer:
x = ± , x = ± i
Step-by-step explanation:
f(x) = - x² - 2
to find the zeros , equate f(x) to zero , that is
- x² - 2 = 0
using the substitution u = x² , then
u² - u - 2 = 0 ← in standard form
(u - 2)(u + 1) = 0 ← in factored form
equate each factor to zero and solve for u
u - 2 = 0 ⇒ u = 2
u + 1 = 0 ⇒ u = - 1
convert u back into terms of x
x² = 2 ( take square root of both sides )
x = ±
x² = - 1 ( take square root of both sides )
x = ± = ± i
Answer:
y=25.5
Step-by-step explanation:
To find y, you need to get it by itself. Ask yourself, what is being done to y, then to undo that, do the opposite. For example, if 3 was added to y, you would need to subtract 3 to cancel out the 3. In this case, what is being done to y? It's being divided by 3. So, you multiply by 3 to cancel that out. Whatever you do to one side of an equation, you also have to do to the other. So,
8.5= Multiply both sides by 3
3(8.5) = 3() multiply on the left side, and on the right side the 3s cancel out
25.5=y
