Algebra.Com's Answer #167249 by brich(7)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Do you know the quadratic formula? \n" ); document.write( "It appears that you do. \n" ); document.write( "your sqr_root(180) reduces to 6sqr_root(5) by the way \n" ); document.write( "so now you have: \n" ); document.write( "[-6(+/-)6sqr_root(5)]/18 \n" ); document.write( "pull/factor a 6 out of the numerator \n" ); document.write( "6[-1(+/-)sqr_root(5)]/18 \n" ); document.write( "6/18 reduces to 1/3 \n" ); document.write( "so the final answer i'm coming up with and you seem to already have is: \n" ); document.write( "[-1(+/-)sqr_root(5)]/3 \n" ); document.write( "I appears as if the answer key is incorrect \n" ); document.write( "Your answer appears correct but make sure you simplify like I pointed out \n" ); document.write( "That all \n" ); document.write( "I hope that was helpful \n" ); document.write( "Let me know if you are still confused \n" ); document.write( " |
