Abit is a 0 or a 1. a bit string is a sequence of digits, all of which are either 0 or 1. for example, there are 8 possible bit strings of length 3 -- they are 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, and 111. for the problem below, consider a bit string of length 7 -- that is, a sequence of 7 digits, all of which are either 0 and 1

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

step-by-step explanation:

the answer is 128
