You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If that is the correct equation, then you have the right answer. \r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Check:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%5E%28x%5E2%29%2B5=6\" Start with the given equation.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%5E%280%5E2%29%2B5=6\" Plug in \"x=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"3%5E%280%29%2B5=6\" Square 0 to get 0\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"1%2B5=6\" Raise 3 to the zeroth power to get 1\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"6=6\" Add. Since the equation is true, this verifies the answer \"x=0\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So either the book has the wrong answer or there's a typo in the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
