2x² + 9 = - 7x how do i find an answer using the quadratic formula

Mathematics
1 answer:
jok3333 [9.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

(-7 ± i√(-23)) / 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Unless you have to show your work, you don't really have to use the quadratic formula unless it is unfactorable.

2x² + 9 = -7x    (Add 7x to both sides)

2x² + 7x + 9 = 0    ( The quadratic formula is (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a )

A = 2

B = 7

C = 9

(-7 ± √(49 - 72))/4

= (-7 ± √(-23))/4    (Which simplifies to an imaginary answer, proving that this is, indeed, unfactorable)

= (-7 ± i√(-23))/4

I have having a problem with this equation 3(-2-3x) = -9x-4
inn [45]

Answer:

3(-2-3x) = 9x-4

-6-9x = 9x-4

-6+6-9x = 9x-4+6

-9x = 9x+2

-9x-9x = 9x-9x+2

-18x = 2

-18x÷(-18) = 2÷(-18)

x = -(1/9)

Thank you

Please help, very confused
miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

1.

-3x + 8y = -5

6x + 2y = -8

Set the equations to a common variable.

-3x + 8y = -5 → 8y = 3x - 5 → y = 3/8x - 5/8

6x + 2y = -8 → 2y = -6x - 8 → y = -3x - 4

Set the equations equal to each other.

3/8x - 5/8 = -3x - 4

Combine like terms.

3x + 3/8x = -4 + 5/8

3.375x = -3.375

Divide by 3.375

x = -1

Plug x back in to find y.

-3x + 8y = -5

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

3 + 8y = -5

8y = -8

y = -1

answer: (-1, -1)

2.

3x + 2y = -16

-3x - 8y = 46

Set the equations to a common variable.

3x + 2y = -16 → 2y = -3x - 16 → y = -3/2x - 8

-3x - 8y = 46 → -8y = 3x + 46 → y = -3/8x - 23/4

Set the equations equal to each other.

-3/2x - 8 = -3/8x - 23/4

Combine like terms.

-9/8x = 9/4

or

-1.125x = 2.25

Divide by -1.125

x = -2

Plug x back in to find y.

3(-2) + 2y = -16

-6 + 2y = -16

2y = -10

y = -5

answer: (-2, -5)
