The equation given is

where a is some number.
We can solve for x by taking the square root of both sides.
Now let's think through what happens for various values of a.
TWO SOLUTIONS
If a is a positive number the above yields two solutions. Take for example:

There will be two solutions (one positive and one negative) as there are two numbers (here -7 and +7) that when multiplied by themselves give 49. That is,

and

. The positive root is called the principal root and the negative root is called the secondary root. This will be the case anytime we take the root of a positive number.
ONE SOLUTION
If a = 0 there is only one solution. That is because

and

. Zero is neither positive nor negative and it has only one root which is 0 itself. So in this case there is only one solution and it is 0.
NO (REAL) SOLUTIONS
If a is negative we would be taking the square root of a negative number. There is no (real) number that when multiplied by itself gives a negative number. Take for example

which gives us

. The square root of -49 is not 7 because (7)(7)=49 which is positive. The square root of -49 is not -7 because (-7)(-7)=49 which is also positive. There is no real number that gives -49 when multiplied by itself. I say "real" numbers because there do exist imaginary/complex numbers but because of the way the questions was asked I imagine you may not know about these yet.
Answer:
98801
Step-by-step explanation:
548897 x 0.18 = 98801
Answer:
6/1 square feet per hour. Jeff can paint faster.
Step-by-step explanation:
So, to get Jeff's square feet to 60 minutes, you do 30x2= 60. So, you do that to 28. 28x2= 56. 56/1 is greater then 50/1. So 56-50= 6. Jeff can paint 6 square feet per hour, greater than Angela.
