Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x − 8 = 0

What 2 numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2

4*-2 = -8

4-2 = 2

(x+4) (x-2)=0

Using the zero product property

x+4 =0 x-2=0

x+4-4 =0-4 x-2+2=0+2

x = -4 x=2

We want the sum of the solutions

-4+2 = -2

For which values of P and Q does the following equation have infinitely many solutions ?

solmaris [256]

Answer:

(P, Q) = (-75, 57)

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation will have infinitely many solutions when it is a tautology.

Subtract the right side from the equation:

Px +57 -(-75x +Q) = 0

x(P+75) +(57 -Q) = 0

This will be a tautology (0=0) when ...

P+75 = 0

P = -75

and

57-Q = 0

57 = Q

_____

These values in the original equation make it ...

-75x +57 = -75x +57 . . . . . a tautology, always true
