Question

48x^2 +44x=60 which of the following could be used to find the solution to the equation above? Select all that apply

Answer 1

Because the polynomial has degree 2, we can assume that there are 2 solutions (roots), whether real or imaginary.

You can subtract 60 in order to put this in standard form

48x^2+44x-60 = 0

From there, just put a,b, and c into the quadratic formula and you're good to solve for your answers.

(-b+-sqrt(b^2-4ac))/2a

(-44+-sqrt(44^2-4(48)(-60)))/2(48)

Then solve.

There is probably a better way, but this should give you the two roots/solutions.
