Answer:

  5x^2 +10x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will have one solution when the discriminant is zero.

In standard form, the equation is ...

  ax^2 +10x -c = 0

The discriminant of the equation ax^2+bx+c=0 is  ...

  b^2 -4ac

so the discriminant of your equation is ...

  10^2 -4a(-c) = 100 +4ac

We want that to be zero, so we require ...

  100 +4ac = 0

  25 +ac = 0

  ac = -25

Any pair of values of 'a' and 'c' that have a product of -25 will satisfy the requirement. As you state, one possible pair is a = 5 and c = -5. Putting these values into the given equation makes it ...

  5x^2 +10x = -5 . . . . . the equation with a=5, c=-5

_____

<em>Additional comment</em>

Your problem statement does not require that 'a' be non-zero. If <em>a=0</em>, then the equation will have one real solution for <em>any value of c</em>.

If you restrict the solutions to integers, then possibilities include ...

  (a, c) = (1, -25), (5, -5), (25, -1), (-25, 1), (-5, 5), (-1, 25)

When you divide with negative exponents, you divide the rational numbers like normal and then you add the exponents.
Doss [256]

Answer:

the same as multiplying them, except you're doing the opposite: subtracting where you would have added and dividing where you would have multiplied. If the bases are the same, subtract the exponents. Remember to flip the exponent and make it positive, if needed.
