Step-by-step explanation:
Hey!
To find the percentage increase, you must use this formula:
{(50 - 92 / 50] × 100 = 84%
So, the percent increase from 50 to 92 is: 84%.
Answer:
I found two different solutions. Hope one of them help!
1. x = -1/3 = -0.333
2. x = 5/2 = 2.500
Step-by-step explanation:
13 ± √ 289
x = ——————
12
Can √ 289 be simplified ?
Yes! The prime factorization of 289 is
17•17
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 289 = √ 17•17 =
± 17 • √ 1 =
± 17
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 13 ± 17) / 12
Two real solutions:
x =(13+√289)/12=(13+17)/12= 2.500
or
x =(13-√289)/12=(13-17)/12= -0.333
Two solutions were found :
x = -1/3 = -0.333
x = 5/2 = 2.500
Consider the equation y = x^2. No matter what x happens to be, the result y will never be negative even if x is negative. Example: x = -3 leads to y = x^2 = (-3)^2 = 9 which is positive.
Since y is never negative, this means the inverse x = sqrt(y) has the right hand side never be negative. The entire curve of sqrt(x) is above the x axis except for the x intercept of course. Put another way, we cannot plug in a negative input into the square root function for this reason. This similar idea applies to any even index such as fourth roots or sixth roots.
Meanwhile, odd roots such as a cube root has its range extend from negative infinity to positive infinity. Why? Because y = x^3 can have a negative output. Going back to x = -3 we get y = x^3 = (-3)^3 = -27. So we can plug a negative value into the cube root to get some negative output. We can get any output we want, negative or positive. So the range of any radical with an odd index is effectively the set of all real numbers. Visually this produces graphs that have parts on both sides of the x axis.
