Answer:

\large \text{$x_1$}=-\dfrac{7}{4}, \large \text{$x_2$}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: 8x² + 10x - 7 = 0

<u>When factoring trinomials of the form ax² + bx + c</u>:

  • multiply the leading coefficient and the last term.
  • find the product factors that add to give you the coefficient of the middle term.
  • rewrite the polynomial with those factors replacing the middle term.

1. Split the middle term:

⇒ 8 × -7 = -56 [multiply the leading coefficient and the last term]

⇒ 14, -4 [find the product factors that add to the middle term's coefficient]

⇒ 8x² + 14x - 4x - 7 = 0 [rewrite with those factors replacing the middle term.]

2. Factor by grouping:

⇒ 8x² + 14x - 4x - 7 = 0 [factor out 2x]

⇒ 2x(4x + 7) - 4x - 7 = 0 [factor out -1 or the negative sign]

⇒ 2x(4x + 7) -1(4x + 7) = 0 [factor out 4x + 7]

⟹ (4x + 7)(2x - 1) = 0

3. Separate into 2 cases:

  1. 4x + 7 = 0
  2. 2x - 1 = 0

 

<u><em>Case 1:</em></u>

⇒ 4x + 7 = 0 [subtract 7 from both sides]

⇒ 4x + 7 - 7 = 0 - 7

⇒ 4x = -7 [divide both sides by 4]

⇒ 4x ÷ 4 = -7 ÷ 4

⟹ x = \bold{-\dfrac{7}{4}}

<u><em>Case 2:</em></u>

⇒ 2x - 1 = 0 [subtract 1 from both sides]

⇒ 2x - 1 + 1 = 0 + 1

⇒ 2x = 1 [divide both sides by 2]

⇒ 2x ÷ 2 = 1 ÷ 2

⟹ x = \bold{\dfrac{1}{2}}

Solutions:

\large \text{$x_1$}=-\dfrac{7}{4}, \large \text{$x_2$}=\dfrac{1}{2}

Answer:

x =  -  \frac{7}{4}  \:  \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

8 {x}^{2}  + 14x - 4x - 7 = 0 \\ 2x(4x + 7) - (4x + 7) = 0 \\ (4x + 7)(2x - 1) = 0

The radius of a semicircle is extended by 6 inches.how does the measure of the semicircles arc length change?
vivado [14]
Let x be the original radius.  Given that a semicircle will have an arc length of half of a circumference and C=2pr, the arc length will be just pr.

Now the difference of arc is then going to be:

p(6+x)-px

p(6+x-x)

6p inches

So the arc will be 6p inches longer.  Or if you wish to approximate...

≈18.85 inches

Expand.<br> If necessary, combine like terms.<br> (x – 5)2 =
grin007 [14]

To expand  you must first distribute (multiply) the 2 to the numbers inside the parentheses

2(x - 5)

(2 * x) + (2 * (-5) )

2x + (-10)

2x - 10

There are no like terms, therefore (x - 5)2 expanded is 2x - 10

Hope this helped!
