First off, the underline underneath means plus or minus, since when you take the square root of something, the answer can be negative or positive at the same time
1. 64 is a perfect square. 8 x 8 = 64, therefore it is +- (plus or minus) 8.
2. 45 is not a perfect square, so you can pull out numbers or plug into a calculator and estimate.
Both answers: Since 45 is divisible by 9 and five, you can break a nine into two threes, therefore pull it out, and since the answer is negative, you get:
-3(5)^0.5 (an exponent of one-half or 0.5 means square root)
If you solve by calculator, the answer is ~= (approximately equal to) -6.72
3. Since 90 is not a perfect square, repeat the previous question. 9 can go into 90, therefore you can pull out two threes and are left with: +-3(10)^0.5
Using the calculator, you get ~= +-9.49
Answer:
-6z
Step-by-step explanation:
(3z)2=6z
Add the negative
-6z
Answer:
7
Step-by-step explanation:
form a proportion
12/2=42/x
cross multiply
12x=84
x=7
To get the vertex of the parabola we proceed as follows;
y=-7(x-4)^2-5
The above can be written as:
y=-7x^2+56x-117
The values of a,b and c are:
a=-7, b=56 and c=-117
x=-b/(2a)
x=-56/(-7*2)=4
but;
y=-7x^2+56x-117
y=-7(4)^2+56(4)-117
y=-5
Thus;
x=4 and y=-5
The vertex will be at point (4,-5)
