Answer: x = -7/2 = -3.500
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The previous answer from another person got deleted, so I'm here to put it back in my own words.
(Edit: The answer is A)
First of all, you can take 4 out of each, so simplify everything by 4.
4(x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2)
Next, you can see that you're able to take out x^2
4x^2(x^2 - 6x + 9)
You can see that both x^2 and 9 are perfect squares, meaning you can crunch them together like this
(x+3)^2 or (x-3)^2
Of course, only one would work, and as fate has it, (x-3)^ produces x^2 - 6x + 9
This would turn the now factored equation into :
4x^2(x-3)^2 or 4x^2(x-3)(x-3), this means the answer is A
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the width=x
Length =6x-4
As we know that in a rectangle
- Here a=6, b=-4, c=-20.
- use quadratic formula
Answer:
Use the explantion to answer your question
Step-by-step explanation:
Amount he paid for first 20 shares
= $25 + (20 x $10.51)
= $25 + $210.20
= $235.20
Amount he paid for next 20 shares
= $25 + (20 x $8.93)
= $25 + $178.60
= $203.60
Thus, total amount paid
= $235.20 + $203.60
= $438.80
Answer:
x = - 6 or x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
The absolute value function always returns a positive value. However, the expression inside can be positive or negative.
Given
| 2x + 4 | - 1 = 7 ( add 1 to both sides )
| 2x + 4 | = 8, thus
2x + 4 = 8 ( subtract 4 from both sides )
2x = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )
x = 2
OR
-(2x + 4) = 8
- 2x - 4 = 8 ( add 4 to both sides )
- 2x = 12 ( divide both sides by - 2 )
x = - 6
As a check
Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions.
x = 2 → | 4 + 4 | - 1 = | 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
x = - 6 → | - 12 + 4 | - 1 = | - 8 | - 1 = 8 - 1 = 7 ← True
Hence the solutions are x = - 6 or x = 2
