8x^2 - 16x - 15 = 0

x = [ -(-16) +/- sqrt((-16)^2 - 4*8*-15) / ] 2*8

= 2.696, -0.696

Answer:

The zeroes of the given polynomial f(x) are

x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Quadratic function f(x)=8x^2-16x-15

To find : What are the zeros of the quadratic function?

Solution :

Using quadratic formula of the general equation ax^2+bx+c=0 to get the roots is x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

Comparing the given quadratic equation,

a = 8, b = -16  and  c = - 15.

Substitute the value in the formula,

x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-(-16)\pm\sqrt{(-16)^2-4\times 8\times (-15)}}{2\times 8}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm\sqrt{256+480}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm\sqrt{786}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{16\pm4\sqrt{46}}{16}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{4\pm\sqrt{46}}{4}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{46}{16}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1\pm\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}.

Therefore, The zeroes of the given polynomial f(x) are

x=1-\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}},~~~x=1+\sqrt{\dfrac{23}{8}}

The walls of a room are representations of what basic element of geometry? A. point B. line C. plane D. ray
kkurt [141]

In geometry,

A point represents a point

Two points define a line extended on both sides of the points.

Two points define a ray if it extends on only one side of either of the points.

Three or more than three points define a plane.

Now as far as a wall is considered, it is a flat surface on which we can plot infinite points.

Hence the wall represents a plane.

Option C) is the right answer.

Write the equation of the line that passes through (−3, 5) and (2, 10) in slope-intercept form
BigorU [14]
Slope = (10 -5)/(2+3) = 5/5=1

y = mx + b
5 = 1(-3) + b
b =8

so equation y = x +8

answer: <span>y = x + 8(first choice)</span>
