Question
Simplify the expression
−29+18x−x2
Evaluate
52−(9−x)2
Expand the expression
52−81+18x−x2
Solution
−29+18x−x2
Show Solution

Find the roots
x1=−213+9,x2=213+9
Alternative Form
x1≈1.788897,x2≈16.211103
Evaluate
52−(9−x)2
To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0
52−(9−x)2=0
Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign
−(9−x)2=0−52
Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression
−(9−x)2=−52
Change the signs on both sides of the equation
(9−x)2=52
Take the root of both sides of the equation and remember to use both positive and negative roots
9−x=±52
