Answer:

negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 17 divided by two: x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{17}}{2}.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation

x^2+5x=-2

x^2+5x+2=0.

To solve it, we are going to use the general formula. This formula is used to find the solutions of quadratic equations.

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

where a is the coefficient of x^2, in this case a=1, b is the coefficient of x, in this case b=5 and c is the independent term, in this case c=2.

x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{5^2-4(1)(2)}}{2(1)}

x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{25-8}}{2}

x=\frac{-5\pm\sqrt{17}}{2}.

X^2 + 5x = -2
x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

x = -b (+-) sqrt (b^2 - 4ac) / 2a
a = 1, b = 5, and c = 2

x = -5 (+-) sqrt (5^2 - 4(1)(2)) / 2(1)
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (25 - 8) / 2
x = -5 (+-) sqrt (17) / 2

answer is : negative 5 plus or minus the square root of 17 divided by 2

Look at the graph shown:
lidiya [134]

Answer:

y = 3x - 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Although the coordinate plane is not given, we don't need it to find the solution. We have given all the conditions enough for the solution.

The y-intercept is (-1) and the function passes through the point ( 1, 2 ).

Only the function y = 3x -1 matches these conditions.

We can observe the points in the attached graph.
