You can put this solution on YOUR website!
\"x%5E2+%2B+25+%3C+10x\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Begin by subtracting 10x from each side:
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%5E2+-10x+%2B+25+%3C0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Can you see that this is a perfect square trinomial???\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "This just happens to factor, so you can write it \"%28x-5%29%5E2+%3C0\", and a square of a real number can NEVER be less than zero, so this is NO SOLUTION.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You can also draw the graph of this \"y=+x%5E2+-10x+%2B25+\". Do you have a graphing calculator? We do in algebra.com. All you have to do is just type it in as a graph, and this is what comes out.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28500%2C500%2C+-10%2C10%2C-10%2C10%2C+x%5E2+-10x%2B25+%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Now, to answer the question from the graph, because the problem says \"x%5E2+-10x+%2B25%3C0+\", you need to find all the values of x on this graph where where the graph is BELOW the x-axis. As you can see from the graph it is ALWAYS ABOVE THE X-axis, and it is NEVER BELOW the x=axis. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "You mentioned that you need graphing help. Can you be more specific? As I asked earlier, do you have a graphing calculator? Do you know how to use algebra.com format to draw a graph as I did above? If not, then just click on a problem here that has already been done that shows a graph (like this one!!), and look for \"Show Source\". If you click on \"Show Source\" for this problem, you will see exactly what I typed in to get this problem posted as I did. To get a graph, just type in three open set braces like this symbol: \"{\", followed by the word \"graph\" with an open parentheses, then all these numbers that set off the size of the graph, the x values, the y values, and then the equation for y, followed by closed parentheses and three closed set braces. Try it sometime. It works on the tutor end, and I think it can be used on the student side as well if you learned how to do it.\r

\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Or just get yourself a graphing calculator. We use the TI 83+ and TI 84, so that is what I know the best, and I have a nice handout for it too. Unfortunately, it is Texas Instruments who makes all the money on this, and not me!! Have a good day.\r
