3x^2 + 4x = -8 solve using quadratic formula

Firdavs [7]2 years ago

Use the quadratic equation to solve this (image of the quadratic equation is below)

Remember that quadratic functions are set up like so:

ax^{2} +bx +c = 0

To make the equation 3x² + 4x = -8 into a quadratic function you must bring -8 to the left side of the equation so it equals zero. To do this add 8 to both sides

3x² + 4x + 8= -8 + 8

3x² + 4x + 8 = 0

That means that in this equation...

a = 3

b = 4

c = 8

^^^Plug these numbers into the quadratic equation and solve  (Keep in mind that +/- is ± )

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{(4)^{2}-4(3)(8)}}{2(3)}

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{16-96}}{6}

\frac{-4+/-\sqrt{-80}}{6}

^^^There is no real solution to this equation. You must have an imaginary solution

\frac{-4+/-i\sqrt{80}}{6}

Simplify

\frac{-2+/-2i \sqrt{5}}{3}

Hope this helped!
