Answer 1

Show how many solutions are in the solution set for 2(x−5)2+2=20.(1 point) Responses one one infinitely many infinitely many two two zero

Answer 2

Solve x2=16/25 by inspection. There are two real solutions. Enter the lesser number first. Leave the answers in simplest fraction form

Answer 3

To solve the equation \( 3x^2 = 21 \), we first divide both sides by 3:

\[
x^2 = \frac{21}{3} = 7
\]

Next, we take the square root of both sides:

\[
x = \pm \sqrt{7}
\]

This means there are two solutions:

\[
x = \sqrt{7} \quad \text{and} \quad x = -\sqrt{7}
\]

Therefore, the number of solutions in the solution set for the equation \( 3x^2 = 21 \) is **two**.

Answer 4

To solve the equation \( 2(x-5)^2 + 2 = 20 \), we first isolate the term with the squared expression.

1. Subtract 2 from both sides:

\[
2(x-5)^2 = 20 - 2
\]
\[
2(x-5)^2 = 18
\]

2. Divide both sides by 2:

\[
(x-5)^2 = \frac{18}{2} = 9
\]

3. Next, take the square root of both sides:

\[
x - 5 = \pm 3
\]

This leads to two equations:

- \( x - 5 = 3 \)
- \( x - 5 = -3 \)

Now, we solve these equations:

1. For \( x - 5 = 3 \):
\[
x = 3 + 5 = 8
\]

2. For \( x - 5 = -3 \):
\[
x = -3 + 5 = 2
\]

Thus, the solutions are \( x = 8 \) and \( x = 2 \).

Therefore, the number of solutions in the solution set for the equation \( 2(x-5)^2 + 2 = 20 \) is **two**.

Answer 5

To solve the equation \( x^2 = \frac{16}{25} \) by inspection, we recognize that we can take the square root of both sides.

Taking the square root, we get:

\[
x = \pm \sqrt{\frac{16}{25}}
\]

Calculating the square root of the fraction:

\[
x = \pm \frac{\sqrt{16}}{\sqrt{25}} = \pm \frac{4}{5}
\]

Thus, the two real solutions are \( \frac{4}{5} \) and \( -\frac{4}{5} \).

Arranging these solutions in order, with the lesser number first, we have:

\[
-\frac{4}{5}, \quad \frac{4}{5}
\]

So the final answers are:

\(-\frac{4}{5}, \frac{4}{5}\)
