It would be 2 because 2 divide 2 is 1
2x2-5x-18=0
Two solutions were found :
x = -2
x = 9/2 = 4.500
Step by step solution :
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(2x2 - 5x) - 18 = 0
Step 2 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
2.1 Factoring 2x2-5x-18
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, -5x its coefficient is -5 .
The last term, "the constant", is -18
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -18 = -36
Step-2 : Find two factors of -36 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is -5 .
-36 + 1 = -35
-18 + 2 = -16
-12 + 3 = -9
-9 + 4 = -5 That's it
Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above, -9 and 4
2x2 - 9x + 4x - 18
Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (2x-9)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
2 • (2x-9)
Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :
(x+2) • (2x-9)
Which is the desired factorization
Equation at the end of step 2 :
(2x - 9) • (x + 2) = 0
Step 3 :
Theory - Roots of a product :
3.1 A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term = 0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.
Answer:
We use scientific notation as sometimes numbers are so so big, that it becomes inconvenient for us to write the actual number.
Step-by-step explanation:
For example, if you have 9 billion of something, you wouldn't want to write those 9 zeroes all the time.
When writing in scientific notation we count the number of decimal places to when we have one non-zero integer to the right of the decimal place. We then write that number and multiply it by ten to the number of decimal places you counted earlier.
e.g. 4.8 X 10^7
Answer:
x=10 or x=-2
Step-by-step explanation:
add 28 to both sides
(x-4)^2=36
sqrt both sides
remember to get positive and negative roots
x-4=+/-6
add 4 to both sides
x=4+/-6
x=4+6 or x=4-6
Pretty simple just place them least to greatest
