Question

Please Help !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Find the solution set for the open sentence with the given replacement set.

w2 + 16 = 8w, {0, 2, 4, 8}

(Points : 1)
0
2
4
8

Answer 1

It sounds like you are most to use the given set to find the solution.

Answer 2

try putting in the numbers one at a time and see if they work

Answer 3

ok

Answer 4

for example
if we replace w with 0
we have
0^2+16=8(0) <--is this true?

Answer 5

by "is this true?" I'm asking are both sides the same

Answer 6

yes

Answer 7

0^2=0*0=0
and 0(8)=0
so you are saying
16=0?

Answer 8

oh no

Answer 9

oh no is right :)

Answer 10

now try pluggin in the second value in your set

Answer 11

replace the w's with 2's now

Answer 12

2^2+16=8(2)

Answer 13

are both sides the same?

Answer 14

no

Answer 15

right because 2^2+16=4+16=20
and 20 is definitely not 8(2)=16

Answer 16

so we ruled out so far that w=0 or w=2 are solutions

Answer 17

let's try w=4

Answer 18

replace the w's with 4's

Answer 19

4^2+16=8(4) <---is this true?

Answer 20

no

Answer 21

remember 4^2 means 4*4

Answer 22

what is 4*4+16=?

Answer 23

32

Answer 24

and what is 8(4)

Answer 25

32

Answer 26

32 is 32

Answer 27

therefore 4^2+16=8(4) is true

Answer 28

ok thanks so much
