Answer: C.
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
This quadratic equation has 2 solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume the '?' in your question is meant to be power 2 (²), or else it would not be a quadratic equation. You could write it using the superscript version of 2.
We can solve this equation by expressing it in the form: ax² + bx + c
x² + 9x= -8
x² + 9x + 8 = 0
Now if you know the discriminant, you can simply plug in your values of a, b, and c to see how many solutions there are.
In this case, you would not need the discriminant as there are whole-number factors and hence this can simply be factorised.
x² + 9x + 8 = 0
(x + 8)(x + 1) = 0
For this equation to be true (= 0), x can equal -8 OR -1.
Hence, this quadratic equation has 2 solutions.
1 2/5 + 3 1/2
= 7/5 + 7/2
= ((7x2)+(7x5))/(5x2)
=(14+35)/10
=49/10
=4 9/10
The answer is 16 if you solve it, because the square root of 64 is 8 and 2 * 8 = 16
