2xsquered minus 8x minus 24

Mathematics
1 answer:
OlgaM077 [116]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = 6 or x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

2 x^2 - 8 x - 24 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with three terms:

2 (x - 6) (x + 2) = 0

Divide both sides by 2:

(x - 6) (x + 2) = 0

Split into two equations:

x - 6 = 0 or x + 2 = 0

Add 6 to both sides:

x = 6 or x + 2 = 0

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Answer: x = 6 or x = -2

(x+7)^2+9=0<br><br> Find x with quadratics
Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

x = -7 ±3i

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+7)^2+9=0

Subtract 9 from each side

(x+7)^2+9-9=0-9

(x+7)^2=-9

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x+7)^2) = ±sqrt(-9)

We know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x+7 = ±sqrt(-1) sqrt(9)

We know that sqrt(-1) is the imaginary number i

x+7 = ±i *3

x+7 =±3i

Subtract 7 from each side

x+7-7 = -7 ±3i

x = -7 ±3i

Can I please get help? Find M1 and M2
marishachu [46]

Answer:

m∠1 = 110° and m∠2 = 70°

Step-by-step explanation:

m∠1 = 110° since vertical angles

To find m∠2, m∠1 and m∠2 must add to 180°

m∠1 + m∠2 = 180°

110° + m∠2 = 180°

m∠2 = 70°

Find the x- and y-intercepts of the graph of the linear equation −x+8y=4.
Ulleksa [173]
X intercept: (-4,0)
y intercept: (0,1/2)

x-intercept is when y = 0
-x+8(0)=4
-x+0=4
x=-4

y-intercept is when x = 0
-(0)+8y=4
8y=4
y=4/8=1/2
