Question

Which statement is true about the solution to y^2x - 1 = -1?

A. The solution is x = -1 because 2(-1) - 1 = -1.
B. The solution is x = 1 because 2(1) - 1 = -1.
C. The solution is x = 0 because 2(0) - 1 = -1.
D. There are no real number solutions to this equation.

Answer 1

The solution to the equation y^2x - 1 = -1 is x = 0.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given is y^2x - 1 = -1. To find the solution, we can simplify the equation by adding 1 to both sides. This gives us y^2x = 0. Next, we can divide both sides of the equation by y^2 to isolate x. This gives us x = 0. Therefore, the correct statement is C. The solution is x = 0 because 2(0) - 1 = -1.
