That literally means the numbers '5' and '12' written like this: 5 + 12
represent the sum of 5 and 12, which is the same as 5 + 12 (because the sum is when all the numbers are added up).
So it's saying 5 + 12 equals to 17.
Do you get it?
Answers:
- C) x = plus/minus 11
- B) No real solutions
- C) Two solutions
- A) One solution
- The value <u> 18 </u> goes in the first blank. The value <u> 17 </u> goes in the second blank.
========================================================
Explanations:
- Note how (11)^2 = (11)*(11) = 121 and also (-11)^2 = (-11)*(-11) = 121. The two negatives multiply to a positive. So that's why the solution is x = plus/minus 11. The plus minus breaks down into the two equations x = 11 or x = -11.
- There are no real solutions here because the left hand side can never be negative, no matter what real number you pick for x. As mentioned in problem 1, squaring -11 leads to a positive number 121. The same idea applies here as well.
- The two solutions are x = 0 and x = -2. We set each factor equal to zero through the zero product property. Then we solve each equation for x. The x+2 = 0 leads to x = -2.
- We use the zero product property here as well. We have a repeated factor, so we're only solving one equation and that is x-3 = 0 which leads to x = 3. The only root is x = 3.
- Apply the FOIL rule on (x+1)(x+17) to end up with x^2+17x+1x+17 which simplifies fully to x^2+18x+17. The middle x coefficient is 18, while the constant term is 17.

Answer:
12y+6
Step-by-step explanation:
You have to use the distributive property and do 3 x 4y and 3 x 2 and you get 12y+6.
Answer:
x²+1/x² = 51
Explanation:
Given x - 1/x = 7 ---(1)
We know the algebraic identity:
a²+b²-2ab = (a-b)²
Or
a²+b² = (a-b)²+2ab
Now,
x²+1/x²
= (x-1/x)²+2*x*(1/x)
= (x-1/x)²+2
:7²+2 [ from (1)] =
= 49+2
= 51
Therefore,
x²+1/x² = 51
