Answer:
{-2,10}
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 - 8x = 20
Take the coefficient of x
-8
Divide by 2
-8/2 =-4
Square it
(-4)^2 =16
Add this to each side
x^2 - 8x+16 = 20+16
x^2 - 8x+16 = 36
The left hand side becomes( x + (-8/2) )^2
(x - 4)^2 = 36
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x - 4)^2) =±sqrt( 36)
x-4 = ±6
Add 4 to each side
x-4+4 = 4±6
x = 4±6
x = 4+6 x = 4-6
x = 10 x = -2
The best answer would be
2.4 x 10 ^6
10 to the sixth power multiplied by 2.4
False, this statement is not true, because if you change the parenthesis, it means that you will do that thing first (PEMDAS)
Therefore, the sstatement is false, because the answers will be completely different,
hope this helps
The factors of 7are -1 and 7 or 1 and -7, the factors of 14 are 1, 2, 7, and 14, or -1, -2, -7,-14. so the list of potential zeros are: 1/1, 1/2, 1/7, 1/14, 7/1,7/2, 7/7, 7/14, which can be simplified into 1, 1/2,1/7, 1/14, 7, 7/2
add the negative ones: -1, -1/2,-1/7, -1/14, -7, -7/2
I believe there are a total of 12 potential zeros
