What are the solutions to the equation x2 - 8x = 10

Mathematics
1 answer:
mojhsa [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

x = 4 ±√26

Step-by-step explanation:

Please write this as x^2 - 8x = 10, or x^2 - 8x - 10 = 0.  " ^ " indicates exponentiation.

Let's complete the square:

x^2 - 8 x can be rewritten as

x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16, and so

x^2 - 8x = 10 becomes x^2 - 8x + 16 - 16 - 10 = 0, or

                                         (x - 4)^2 = 26

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

x - 4 = ±√26, or

x = 4 ±√26

What are the zeros of the function below?
Ivan
When you want to find zeros of rational expression you need to find at which points numerator is equal to zero. In this case, we have the product of three expressions.
x(x-1)(x+11)=0
A product is equal to zero whenever one of the factors is equal to zero. 
That means that zeros of our functions are:
1)x=0
2)x-1=0
x=1
3)x+11=0
x=-11
The final answer is a. Function has zeros at (0, 1, -11).
