What is one root of this equation?

2x^-4x+9=0

9514 1404 393

  1 +i√3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

In vertex form, the equation is ...

  2(x² -2x +1) +7 = 0

  2(x -1)² +7 = 0

Then the solutions are ...

  (x -1)² = -7/2

  x = 1 ±i√3.5

One solution is 1+i√3.5.

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
