Answer:

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{17}}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an equation $x^2+3x-2=0$ . We are asked to solve the given equation.

To solve our given equation, we will use quadratic formula.

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

Substitute the values:

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-2)}}{2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+8}}{2}$

$x=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{17}}{2}$

Therefore, option D is the correct choice.

Which are the solutions of the quadratic equation? x2 = 9x + 6

Lelechka [254]

X^2 = 9x + 6
x^2 - 9x - 6 = 0
use quadratic formula : (-b (+-) sqrt b^2 - 4ac) / (2a)
a = 1, b = -9, c = -6
now we sub

x = (-(-9) (+-) sqrt -9^2 - 4(1)(-6)) / 2(1)
x = 9 (+-) sqrt 81 + 24)/2
x = 9 (+-) sqrt 105) / 2
x = 9/2 + 1/2 sqrt 105 or x = 9/2 - 1/2 sqrt 105

How can you tell if an ordered pair (x,y) is a solution or a system of linear equations?

zubka84 [21]

Answer:

you will know because it you do the system of whatever thingy and there are no two dots in the same row and the line is straight in either a negative or positive slope at a diagonal the equation is linear and its a function.

Step-by-step explanation:

The image is an example of a linear equation that is both a function and positive lenear
