Anyone know how I got this one wrong?
Thats all one question.

So you're doing some weird business like this?\[\large\rm f(x)=g(x)\]Your equations look correct,\[\large\rm -(x-8)^2=-1\]Now solve for x, ya?
Yup
Thats what I got, but for some odd reason its incorrect. :(
Multiply by -1,\[\large\rm (x-8)^2=1\]Square root,\[\large\rm x-8=\pm1\]Add 8,\[\large\rm x=8\pm1\]
I'm not sure how you're getting 6 and 8 for solutions. hmmm
hmmm
8 plus 1 is 9, 8 minus 1 is 7, ya? :d
yup yup
To be honest, I don't understand these graphs. They make no sense to me... But there is only one graph showing those x-values... Sooooo... ya :\
Obviously it's a parabola opening downward because of the negative coefficient on the squared term. I don't understand what they're trying to do here. Stupid question >.<
Yea, lol I agree.
Very weird question, but thanks for helping me!
At least now I know im not stupid lol.
The answer is x = 7 or x= 9
There's some issues with my device. Keep solving and then the browser refreshes the OS page Anyway what I did is simplifying the expression to make it look like a quadratic and then use the famous quadratic formula to find the zeros
Thanks! :)
