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

Mae bought some grapes and used 13 of them. She split apart the remaining grapes into 4 equal parts to eat for snacks each day d

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Uh. Sounds like...

$4x = 13$
X would be the amount of days in the week she has to do so. It's just confusing cause during the week so I'm assuming she's not spreading it across the week of 7 days, just the 4.
