You meant to say x^2 - 49 and the second binomial is x^2 - 16.
x^2 - 49 = (x - 7) (x + 7).
Set each factor to 0 and solve for x individually.
x - 7 = 0
x = 7
x + 7 = 0
x = -7
Do the same for x^2 - 16.
Here is the set up:
x^2 - 16 = (x - 4) (x + 4).
Take it from here.
Answer:
a and c are undefined.
b and d are zero.
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical lines are undefined because of division by 0 (a and c).
The run is zero.
Horizontal lines have a slope of 0 (b and d).
The rise is zero.
Answer:
C. In step 2, Cindy should have multiplied both sides of the equation by 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
I'll go through the equation correctly, and then point out what would have happened.
3 = x/2 - 5
Add 5 to both sides. -5 and 5 cancel out.
8 = x/2
What Cindy should have done here is multiply by 2, not divide by 2. It is important to remember that you do the INVERSE operation to cancel out a number.
What would have happened here is that we have an extra step (though either way we still end up with x being 16.)
Correct Step 2:
Multiply both sides by 2. x/2 and 2x cancel out.
x = 16
Incorrect Step 2:
8/2 = (x/2)/2
4 = x/4
Multiply both sides by 4 (this would be the extra step!).
16 = x
