is it 5x^2 - 9x = 0?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's 5x squared - 9x = 0
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
its answer is 9/5 & 0.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
But there should only be one answer...the positive one. So, what is it?
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
no, there will b 2 answers.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
it is 5x^2
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
i think u typed the wrong ques
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i have a project due tommorrow for math I and i need someone to help tutor me on positive solutions of equations....can any of you two help me?
please???
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
i think u typed the wrong ques
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well i dont even think that was a possible equation that even existed...lol. i think ur right

saifoo is right if it is 5x^2 the answer would be 9/5 and 0
OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):
hmm. :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmmmm *twicee. :-))
OpenStudy (anonymous):
interesting. well can any of you two give me an equation and explain to me how you get the positive solution of it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
factor out an x
x(5x-9)=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah!!!! A problem like that is what I have on my paper. Now...how do I get the positive solution of this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then set x=0 and 5x-9=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah. Then what?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
will we know that x=0 is one answer. then let's solve 5x-9=0. once we solve that we get 5x=9 then divide 5 by both sides we get 9/5
OpenStudy (anonymous):
dose that make sence?

hold on...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can we do another problem if you don't mind?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i did this one but i want to make sure it's right:
4x^2 - 36 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got: the positive solution is 3.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
am i right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that is what I got... for 4x^2-36=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so im right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry that is what I got
OpenStudy (anonymous):
No, it's 9/5. You factor out an x, and you use the zero product rule, setting x = 0 and (5x-9)=0, since, algebraically, you can do that. So, solving for x, you get x = 0 and x = 9/5

LOL. but i was talking about a different equation.....4x squared - 36 = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
mknight94 we arewwe are doing a different problem
OpenStudy (anonymous):
*not the 1st one
OpenStudy (anonymous):
smartchickk59 you are right. are you sure that it is not 4x^2-36x=0?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
not with the x after the 36

OpenStudy (anonymous):
no its: 4x^2-36=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3 is the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Did you need any more help?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Oh no thank you...not for now. But thank you so muchh for your help and your patince....!!! :) Thanks.
