I need help on number 5

A fraction is undefined if its denominator is zero, because then it's saying
"Division by zero !" which is a definite no-no.

Can the denominator of the fraction in #5 ever be zero ?

The denominator is a quadratic polynomial. Do you know
how to solve (a quadratic polynomial) = 0 ?

This problem is even easier than that, because it gives you some choices.
So you don't even have to solve the quadratic equation. All you have to do
is check out the choices.
Do you see choice of 'x' values that make the denominator zero ?

Big sloppy hint: Look at choice-E very very carefully.

Is that enough help ?

How do you solve this? 18 " n=21

dalvyx [7]

$18 ^{n} =21$

$log(18) ^{n}=log(21)$

$n*log(18)=log(21)$

$n= \frac{log(21)}{log(18)}$

$n=1.053$

7.89 greater or less than 7.189<br><br> 6.030 greater less or equal 6.03

NemiM [27]

7.89 is greater than 7.189, 6.03 is equal to 6.030, because that last zero doesn't really change anything it cancels itself out

Solve x2 – 8x = 3 by completing the square. Which is the solution set of the equation?

vazorg [7]

Answer:

x = 4 ± $\sqrt{19}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 8x = 3

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 4)x + 16 = 3 + 16

(x - 4)² = 19 ( take the square root of both sides )

x - 4 = ± $\sqrt{19}$ ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 4 ± $\sqrt{19}$
