<h2>Examining the equation</h2>
We have 2 terms:
and 
For the sum of these to equal a negative number, in this case -3, one of these terms would have to be negative.
<h2>So what's the problem?</h2>
The function 
(square root of x) only returns positive values!
(See the attached image for a graph of )
Since neither of the terms can be negative, it can't be equal to -3. In other words, no matter what we put as 
, we can't solve the solution, so we say that the equation <em>does not have any solutions.</em>
"of" is written as "x" in number statement:
Write 5 as fraction:
Multiply:
Answer:
1/2 ÷ 4 = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Dividing fractions is as easy as pie. Flip the second and multiply.
1/2 ÷ 4 = 1/8
A whole number secretly has a 1 underneath, like this: 4/1
Flip the second number over to get 1/4, then multiply straight across.
× 
= 
Try to do the same for the other answers and see if they're right (they're not).
1/8 x 1/6 = 1/48
1/3 x 1/4 = 1/12
1/9 x 1/2 = 1/18
We want to solve
Subtract 5 from each side.
Divide each side by 3.
Take natural logs of each side.
Divide each side by 2.
x = 0.9962
Answer: x = 0.996 (nearest thousanth)
Now, assuming is a vertical parabola, so the squared variable is the "x", let's do some checking.
