What would you do if the equation had x squared or x cubed in the polynomial equation?

It depends on what you wanted to do - graph it, solve it, factorise it, etc.


How would you solve 2x minus 5 squared?

if you want to "solve" this equation, you need an equals sign somehwere! For example, if the problem was 2x - 52=5 then you could solve. You add 52 (or 25) to both sides so the equation becomes 2x = 30. Then you divide both sides by 2 to get x=15

How do you solve a squared b squared equals 1024?

Please note that in general, if you have ONE equation with TWO or more variables, there is not a unique solution. You can assign an arbitrary value for "a", replace it, then calculate what would be the corresponding value of "b". Or, probably even better, you can solve for "b" in terms of "a". Then you can assign any value to "a", and calculate the corresponding value for "b". To actually solve for "b", first solve for b2 in the usual way, that is, manipulate the equation until b2 is on the left, everything else on the right. Then take the square root on each side.
