1/2 x2=32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is it asking?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u have to solve the equation for it because i got lost on it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh 1/2 times 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

duh!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LOL!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

noo like 1/2 times x to the second power = 32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol wtf im soooo slow

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what grade are you in?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11th

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm in 6th i'm 11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot some things ok dont judge meh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt

OpenStudy (anonymous):

by the way your smarter than you think you are you just gotta try to work it out and do what you think!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what about the 1/2x to the second power huh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i sent you a message @Evictu_FB

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea i got it

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation : 1/2*x^2-(32)=0 Step by step solution : Step 1 : x2 Simplify —— - 32 2 Rewrting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction : 1.1 Subtracting a whole from a fraction Rewrite the whole as a fraction using 2 as the denominator : 32 32 • 2 32 = —— = —————— 1 2 Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator Adding fractions that have a common denominator : 1.2 Adding up the two equivalent fractions Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible: x2 - ( 32 • 2 ) x2 - 64 ——————————————— = ——————— 2 2 Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares : 1.3 Factoring: x2 - 64 Method : Testing whether or not the above binomial is the difference of two perfect squares. Theory : A difference of two perfect squares, A2 - B2 can be factored into (A+B)(A-B) Proof : (A+B)•(A-B) = A2 - AB + BA - B2 = A2 - AB + AB - B2 = A2 - B2 Note : AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication. Note : - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression. Check : 64 is the square of 8 Check : x2 is the square of x1 Factorization is :(x + 8) • (x - 8) Equation at the end of step 1 : (x + 8) • (x - 8) ————————————————— = 0 2 Step 2 : (x+8)•(x-8) Solve ——————————— = 0 2 When a fraction equals zero : 2.1 When a fraction equals zero ... Where a fraction equals zero, its nominator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero. Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator. Here's how: (x+8)•(x-8) ——————————— • 2 = 0 • 2 2 Now, on the left hand side, the 2 cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero. The equation now takes the shape: (x+8) • (x-8) = 0 Theory - Roots of a product : 2.2 A product of several terms equals zero. When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. We shall now solve each term = 0 separately. In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product. Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well. Solving a Single Variable Equation : 2.3 Solve : x+8 = 0 Subtract 8 from both sides of the equation: x = -8 Solving a Single Variable Equation : 2.4 Solve : x-8 = 0 Add 8 to both sides of the equation: x = 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soooo how do i give both of u the medals

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got it right i said 8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try to pick out of a hat wait ill get the website for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'll do it ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

quess a number @Kamizamurai from 1-100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i mean 1-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and i will click shuffle and see who gets it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok hello?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i pick 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don'y really need the metal.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

comon plz do it pick a num.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

brb

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Bye

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FAN ME

OpenStudy (anonymous):

THX WUV U
