Chapter 9.2, Problem 35E

To determine

To solve the equation

Answer to Problem 35E

There is no solution

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $-x^2-5=-2x$

Calculation:

The equation is $-x^2-5=-2x$ .

Rearranging,

  $-x^2=5-2x$

The first part is $-x^2$ and second part is $5-2x$

Graphing 1^st part and 2^nd part,

  $y=-x^2$ and $y=5-2x$ ,

  

The points where the equations intersected are solutions. Hence, there is no solution as the points aren’t intersected.
