Is it possible for two different numbers, when
squared, to give the same result? what does this
result tell you about solving an equation when the
variable is squared? how many solutions will an
equation like this have? will there always be the
same number of solutions for any equation with a
squared variable? explain.

Yes. Squared variables usually have two solutions, unless they are 0 (1 solution) or negative (no solution).

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving the generic x² = c has two solutions when c>0, one solution when c=0, and no (real) solutions for c<0.

When c>0, the solutions are x = √c and x= -√c.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.

step-by-step explanation:

given that ab is divided into equal parts as

ac, cd, de, ef, fg, gh, hi, ib.

from this we find that f is the midpoint of ab.

so using mid point formula we find

f = (3,7)

similarly considering fb, we get

h = mid point of fb = ((6,6) and g, mid point of fh is

g = (9/2, 13/2)

i is mid point of hb

so i =(15/2,11/2)
