No. 4.5^2-10(4.5)+25=0.25, not 16

Answer 2

that how the question was asked

Answer 3

Just what is "the smallest zero value" You sure it didn't say "the smallest nonzero value"

Answer 4

nope i copyed and pasted the question

Answer 5

Just solve the equation. \[x ^{2}-10x+25=16\]\[x ^{2}-10x+9=0\]\[(x-9)(x-1)=0\]\[x=9\]\[x=1\]

Answer 6

ok

Answer 7

They both work, i guess the x=1 is closest to zero, if that is really what is wanted???

Answer 8
