Answer:
-7/8
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic formula is ax^2 + bx + c
In this case, x = -b/2a, which is -7/(2(4)) = -7/8
X^2 + 2x -8
The factors of 8 are 2 and 4, and to get 2x we need 2 and 4 to either add up to or subtract to result in 2.
4 - 2 = 2. We also know this is right because 4 x -2 = -8. So the answer is:
(x + 4)(x - 2)
