Solution

You have uploaded two images containing several polynomial equations. Let’s solve the equations from both images.

First image:

  1. x+1=0x + 1 = 0
    Solution: x=1x = -1

  2. x5=0x - 5 = 0
    Solution: x=5x = 5

  3. 2x4=02x - 4 = 0
    Solution: x=42=2x = \frac{4}{2} = 2

  4. 10x+5=010x + 5 = 0
    Solution: 10x=510x = -5x=12x = -\frac{1}{2}

  5. 3x7=03x - 7 = 0
    Solution: x=73x = \frac{7}{3}

Second image:

  1. x29=0x^2 - 9 = 0
    This is a difference of squares:
    (x3)(x+3)=0(x - 3)(x + 3) = 0
    Solutions: x=3x = 3 or x=3x = -3

  2. x24=0x^2 - 4 = 0
    Another difference of squares:
    (x2)(x+2)=0(x - 2)(x + 2) = 0
    Solutions: x=2x = 2 or x=2x = -2

  3. x2+9=0x^2 + 9 = 0
    There are no real solutions since x2+9x^2 + 9 is always positive.
    Solution: No real solution.

  4. x(x1)=0x(x - 1) = 0
    Solutions: x=0x = 0 or x=1x = 1

  5. (x2)(x+3)=0(x - 2)(x + 3) = 0
    Solutions: x=2x = 2 or x=3x = -3

  6. x(x2+1)=0x(x^2 + 1) = 0
    Solutions: x=0x = 0 (since x2+1x^2 + 1 has no real roots).

  7. 2x2+2x=02x^2 + 2x = 0
    Factor out 2x2x:
    2x(x+1)=02x(x + 1) = 0
    Solutions: x=0x = 0 or x=1x = -1

  8. x2x=0x^2 - x = 0
    Factor:
    x(x1)=0x(x - 1) = 0
    Solutions: x=0x = 0 or x=1x = 1

  9. 2xx2+3x3=02x - x^2 + 3x - 3 = 0
    Combine like terms:
    x2+5x3=0-x^2 + 5x - 3 = 0
    This is a quadratic equation. Use the quadratic formula:
    x=5±524(1)(3)2(1)x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{5^2 - 4(-1)(-3)}}{2(-1)}
    Simplifying:
    x=5±25122=5±132x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{25 - 12}}{-2} = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{13}}{-2}
    Solutions: x=5±132x = \frac{5 \pm \sqrt{13}}{2}
