This is all they provided? No graph or anything?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes that all

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the first one os asking you- Something Squared minus 25 equals -9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Here would be your equation: \[n^2-25=-9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now you have to solve for n

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You need help doing that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got n^2=16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

n is a separate number that is being squared and subtracted by 25 to get to negative nine

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Need some help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeahh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hint- Its a number 1-10

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Its also divisible by 2....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

BINGO!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the x-intercepts?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now i'm just trying to figure out what graph they are talking about....
