Answer:
1) x= -36.
2) x = 0.
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Taking the 3rd power to both sides and using the following exponent law:
we get:
So this tells us that x = -36.
2) We can distribute the power inside every term. So the left side becomes:
Now, the trick here is to remember that 
, so replacing 1 with 
, which then gives us:
, telling us that 3x = 0 and thus, x = 0.
Answer:
AB = 9/2 cm
AB = 4.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of small rectangle
x * (x-4) = x^2 -4x
The area of the big rectangle
The height is 2x +x and the width is x-2
(2x+x) * (x-2)
(3x) * (x-2)
3x^2 -6x
Add the areas together
x^2 -4x + 3x^2 -6x
4x^2 -10x
This is equal to 36
4x^2 -10x=36
Subtract 36 from each side
4x^2 -10x -36=36-36
4x^2 -10x-36=0
Divide each side by 2
2x^2 -5x -18=0
Factor
(x + 2) (2 x - 9) = 0
Using the zero product property
x+2=0 2x-9=0
x = -2 2x =9
x = -2 x = 9/2
Since we cant have a negative length
x = 9/2
AB = 9/2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
x = -4/5 and -1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
"Finding zeroes" means find the x-values that make f(x) = 0, so we have...
0 = 10x² + 9x + 2
Use quadratic equation to solve...
x = [-9 ± √(9² - 4(10)(2))]/[2(10)]
x = [-9 ± √(81 - 80)]/20
x = [-9 ± √1]/20
x = [-9 ± 1]/20
x = (-9 + 1)/20 and (-9 - 1)/20
x = -8/20 and -10/20
x = -4/5 and -1/2
