Which of the following are solutions to the equation below?

Natasha2012 [34]

Both A and C would be solutions to the equation.

In order to solve for this you must first get the equation equal to 0.

2x^2+5x+8=6 ----> subtract 6 from both sides
2x^2 + 5x + 2 = 0

Now knowing this we can use the coefficients of each one in descending order of power as a, b and c.

a = 2 (because it is the coefficient to x^2)
b = 5 (because it is the coefficient to x)
c = 2 (because it is the end number)

Now we can plug these values into the quadratic equation.

$\frac{-b +/- \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac } }{2a}$

$\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{5^{2} - 4(2)(2) } }{2(2)}$

$\frac{-5 +/- \sqrt{9} }{4}$

$\frac{-5 +/- 3 }{4}$

$\frac{-5 + 3 }{4}$ or -1/2 for the first answer

$\frac{-5 - 3 }{4}$ or -2 for the second answer

Describe the graph of the function.y = |x – 4| – 7

juin [17]

This is always ''interesting'' If you see an absolute value, you always need to deal with when it is zero:

(x-4)=0 ===> x=4,

so that now you have to plot 2 functions!

For x<= 4: what's inside the absolute value (x-4) is negative, right?, then let's make it +, by multiplying by -1:

|x-4| = -(x-4)=4-x
Then:

for x<=4, y = -x+4-7 = -x-3

for x=>4, (x-4) is positive, so no changes:

y= x-4-7 = x-11,

Now plot both lines. Pick up some x that are 4 or less, for y = -x-3, and some points that are 4 or greater, for y=x-11

In fact, only two points are necessary to draw a line, right? So if you want to go full speed, choose:

x=4 and x= 3 for y=-x-3

And just x=5 for y=x-11

The reason is that the absolute value is continuous, so x=4 works for both:

x=4===> y=-4-3 = -7

x==4 ====> y = 4-11=-7!

abs() usually have a cusp int he point where it is =0

Hope it helps, despite being this long!
