ohh yes thank you:) i have another question.. for radical expressions, how would you know if it's only one solution or two?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@niiiice yes the common factor is 2.
OpenStudy (shamim):
welcome @niiice
OpenStudy (shamim):
i think it has only one solution
OpenStudy (shamim):
becausr 125/8 is a positive number

ohh and if it's negative, there would be two solutions?
OpenStudy (shamim):
(-125/8)=(-5/2)*(-5/2)*(-5/2)
OpenStudy (shamim):
so if it is negative it has only one solution is
-5/2

@shamim how would you do 25x^2+5=14?
I think I did mine wrong.. I'm really confused
25x^2+5=14
(5x+5)(5x-5)=14
5x+5=14
x=9/5
(5x-5)=14
x=19/5
OpenStudy (shamim):
yes its wrong

@shamim what was my mistake?
OpenStudy (shamim):
u know
a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
OpenStudy (shamim):
nd never
a^2+b^2=(a+b)(a-b)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@shamim okay? so do i need to square root 25x^2+5?
