I believe it’s the first one. i’m very sorry if it’s wrong
B because there is only one negative and -63 divided by 7 equals -9. If it were -7 divided by 63 that would give you an answer in decimal form.
After manipulating above equation we get, 2x^2 - 7x - 8= 0. Discriminant= b^2 - 4ac = (-7)^2 - 4(2)(-8) = 113>0. So there are 2 real roots :)
Answer:
3872/(x^2 - 2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplify the following:
(16^3 - 3^2 - 5×43)/(x^2 - 2)
3^2 = 9:
(16^3 - 9 - 5×43)/(x^2 - 2)
16^3 = 16×16^2:
(16×16^2 - 9 - 5×43)/(x^2 - 2)
| 1 | 6
× | 1 | 6
| 9 | 6
1 | 6 | 0
2 | 5 | 6:
(16×256 - 9 - 5×43)/(x^2 - 2)
16×256 = 4096:
(4096 - 9 - 5×43)/(x^2 - 2)
43 (-5) = -215:
(4096 - 9 + -215)/(x^2 - 2)
4096 - 9 - 215 = 3872:
Answer: 3872/(x^2 - 2)
First, recall that
So if 
, then 
.
Second,
We know that 
and 
, which means we should also have 
.
Third,
but as we've already shown, we need to have , so we pick the negative root.
Finally,
Unfortunately, none of the given answers match, so perhaps I've misunderstood one of the given conditions... In any case, this answer should tell you everything you need to know to find the right solution from the given options.
