Question
x2(101)2+(1−x)2(104)2=(102)2
Answer
The equation has an infinite number of solutions.
Explanation
x2(101)2+(1−x)2(104)210x2(101)2+10(1−x)2(104)20+10(1−x)2⋅0.160+10(1−2x+x2)⋅0.160+(10−20x+10x2)⋅0.160+0+0x+0x20=(102)2=10(102)2=0=0=0=0=0multiply ALL terms by 10.cancel out the denominatorssimplify left side
Since the statement 0=0 is TRUE for any value of x, we conclude that the equation has infinitely many solutions.
