Mathematics
1 answer:
horrorfan [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

x = -3 +/- sqrt(17)

Step-by-step explanation:

-6x - (x^2) - 8 = 0

-((x^2) + 6x + 8) = 0

(x^2) + 6x + 8 = 0

(x + 3)^2 - 1 = 0

(x + 3)^2 = 1

x + 3 = +/- sqrt(1)

x + 3 = +/- 1

x = -3 +/- 1

x = -4, -2

To which subsets of real numbers does the number -22 belong?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: A -22 can be a rational number as well as a integer

Step-by-step explanation:

Whole Number: A whole number is not a fraction or a decimal so a example would be: 43 or 85 or 1 or 3. Zero is not a whole number. Negative are not whole numbers

Rational number: A rational number is a number that can be expressed as a fraction or a decimal. Like 33 can be 33/1. Most numbers are rational. Zero is a rational number.

Integers: A integer is not a fraction or a decimal. its a positive or negative number. Example: 1 or -5 or 85 or -445. there is still some arguments about if zero is a integer.

Irrational numbers: A irrational number cannot be expressed as a ratio. So for example pi: 3.141592653589......(it keeps on going, we haven't even gotten to the end because its infinite).

Natural numbers: Natural numbers are positive numbers. Example: 1,6,3,4,62,3 etc. Sometimes zero is a natural number.

Hope I helped,

Which can be represented by the expression 17 – 2x? A. 17 less than twice a number B. the difference between 17 and twice a numb
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

B.

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is a number, then twice a number is 2x. The difference between 17 and 2x is 17-2x.

Common Error:

A. says 17 less than twice a number. Since it is 17 less, it is 2x-17 not 17-2x.

Hope this answer helped! :)
