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

I don't know how to solve it.
Nataly [62]

Step-by-step explanation:

Take the first derivative

\frac{d}{dx} ( {x}^{3}  - 3x)

3 {x}^{2}  - 3

Set the derivative equal to 0.

3 {x}^{2}  - 3 = 0

3 {x}^{2}  = 3

{x}^{2}  = 1

x = 1

or

x =  - 1

For any number less than -1, the derivative function will have a Positve number thus a Positve slope for f(x).

For any number, between -1 and 1, the derivative slope will have a negative , thus a negative slope.

Since we are going to Positve to negative slope, we have a local max at x=-1

Plug in -1 for x into the original function

( - 1) {}^{3}  - 3(  - 1) = 2

So the local max is 2 and occurs at x=-1,

For any number greater than 1, we have a Positve number for the derivative function we have a Positve slope.

Since we are going to decreasing to increasing, we have minimum at x=1,

Plug in 1 for x into original function

{1}^{3}   - 3(1)

1 - 3 =  - 2

So the local min occurs at -2, at x=1
