You would have to replace f(x) with zero and use quadratic formula
f(x)=x^2-5x+5
0=x^2-5x+5
=(-b+-√b^2-4ac)/2a
=(5+-√25-4(1)(5))/2
=(5+-√5)/2
x=(5+√5)/2 or x=(5-√5)/2
Both x values are completely applicable in the equation.
Hope I helped :)
Answer:
Heat makes the particles in a solid vibrate faster, giving them more kinetic energy. Faster-vibrating particles bump into one another more often and hit each other harder. ... When a sample of solid, liquid, or gas matter cools down, it contracts. When matter cools down, its particles lose kinetic energy.
2x^2 - 4 = 68
add 4 to both sides
2x^2 = 72
divide both sides by 2
x^2 = 36
find the square root of each sides
x = 6, -6
ANSWER: the positive value of x is 6
