and



x=0 and x=
are the solutions.
<u>|4x + 2| + 6 = 0</u>
Subtract 6 from each side: |4x + 2| = -6
But the absolute value of a number is always positive.
No value of 'x' can ever make |4x + 2| negative.
So the equation has <em>no solution</em>.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we let the width be w, then the length is w+3.5.
This means that w(w+3.5)=11
w^2 + 3.5w - 11 = 0
2w^2 + 7w - 22 = 0 (multiply both sides by 2)
(2w+11)(w-2)=0
w = -11/2 or w = 2 (disregard w = -11/2 as distance is positive)
This means that w=2, and thus the length is 2+3.5=5.5
Answer:
x = -2 or 5
Step-by-step explanation:
y = (x-3)/((x-5)(x+2))
y is undefined when the denominator is zero.
