Use the quadratic formula to solve x2 + 7x + 8 = 0. Estimate irrational solutions to the nearest tenth.

1 answer:

6 0

x2 + 7x + 8
a = 1
b = 7
c = 8
x = [-b +-sq root (b^2 -4ac)] / 2a
x = [-7 +- sq root (49 -4*1*8)] / 2*1
x = [-7 +- sq root (49 -32)] / 2
x = [-7 +sq root (17)] / 2

x1 = [-7 +sq root (17)] / 2
x2 = [-7 -sq root (17)] / 2

x1 = -1.4384
x2 = -5.5616

Answer:

How do you figure out if a relation is a function? You could set up the relation as a table of ordered pairs. Then, test to see if each element in the domain is matched with exactly one element in the range. If so, you have a function!
