Solve for x in the equation x^2+ 4x-4=8.

Mathematics
1 answer:
Morgarella [4.7K]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x = -6 or x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

x^{2}+4x-4=8\\\\ x^2+4x-4-8=0\\\\ x^2+4x-12=0\\\\

This is quadratic equation, so we can use the quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation i.e. the value of x that satisfy the given equation.

According to the quadratic formula, the two roots will be:

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

Here,

a = coefficient of x² = 1

b = coefficient of x = 4

c = constant term = -12

Using these values, we get:

x=\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{(4)^2-4(1)(-12)}}{2(1)}\\\\ x=\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{64}}{2}\\\\ x=\frac{-4 \pm 8}{2}\\\\ x = \frac{-4-8}{2} , x = \frac{-4+8}{2}\\\\ x=-6, x = 2

Thus, the two values of x that satisfy the given equation are: -6 and 2. So 1st option gives the correct answer.

The cost to rent a rug-cleaning machine from the supermarket is $23 per day. The supermarket charges a check-out fee of $45 for
igomit [66]

Answer:

23d + 45 = 137

Explanation:

Since it is $23 per day, that dollar amount must be associated with a variable that multiples it per day that it is rented. Finally, you need to add the one time $45. This equation can then be used to find how many days it was rented for.

23d + 45 = 137

23d = 92 (Subtract 45 from both sides)

d = 4 (Divide by 23 on both sides)

The rug-cleaning machine was rented for 4 days. You found this using the equation: 23d + 45 = 137

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

32π cubic units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: r=4, h=6, v=?

Volume of cone: v=(h*πr²)/3

Substitution: v=(6*π*4²)/3

v=2*π*16

v=32π unit³ or approx. 100.530965 unit³
