Find the sum and express it in simplest form (8a^2 + 6a + 5) + (-3a^2 - 2a)
2 answers:
What we are going to do with this problem is combine all the like terms.
so to begin, we notice that there are two numbers with a^2 involved, and two numbers with an a.
thus:
8
+(-3 is going to equal 5
because adding a negative is just like subtracting.
then we move on to (6a)-(2a) giving us 4a
5 is the only term that stays the same because there are no other similar terms.
last but not least, put the equation together!
answer: 5+4a+5

Answer:
<em>The correct answer is the first option</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Quadratic Equation</u>
The standard form of a quadratic equation is
Sometimes we need to change the expression of the same equation to the form
To accomplish that change, we usually modify the left-hand expression to make it look like the square of a binomial.
The given quadratic equation is
Recall the square of a binomial is
The first term is already present. The second term gives us the value of p:
Solving
Now we need to produce the third term . We only have 41, thus we need to add 8 to both sides of the equation:
