Rearrange to: x^2 + 18x - 25 = 0
Then factorise (I like to do it by completing the square):
(x + 9)^2 -81 -25 = 0
(x + 9)^2 = 106
x + 9 = sqrt(106)
The sol'ns are:
x = -9 + and - sqrt(106)
In order to solve first convert both values into improper fractions:
18/5+63/10
second, convert both values to fractions with a base of ten:
36/10+63/10
finally, add the numerators:
99/10 is the final answer
Answer:
Its positive
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 5 = -3
3x = 2
x = 2/3
2/3 is positive
The absolute minimum of this graph is y=-10
