This one is so easy that your brain refuses to accept it.
It's looking for a harder answer, but can't find it !
You're totally correct, as far you went. x² + 2x does = -1
Now add ' 1 ' to each side: x² + 2x + 1 = 0
Can you factor that quadratic ?
Can you mash it through the quadratic formula ?
Actually, it's the simplest possible perfect square.
x² + 2x + 1 = (x + 1)²
So the solutions of x² + 2x + 1 = 0 are both x = -1 .
Don't say anything.
I know it's embarrassing.
I think your answer is ( B )
1 <span>millimeter = 10⁻³ m
1 </span><span>decimeter = 10⁻¹ m
So,</span>decimeters are larger units, and 143.0 decimeters > <span>143.0 millimeters .</span>
1 solution is available when variable equals a constant.
Answer: Option B.
<u>Explanation:</u>
You will be able to determine if an equation has one solution (which is when one variable equals one number), or if it has no solution (the two sides of the equation are not equal to each other) or infinite solutions (the two sides of the equation are identical).
The ordered pair that is the solution of both equations is the solution of the system. A system of two linear equations can have one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution. If a consistent system has exactly one solution, it is independent.
