Parallel line means the same slope

Elect the correct answer. What are the solutions of this quadratic equation?
zvonat [6]

Answer:

Rewrite equation as:

x^2 + 2x +2 =0

a = 1 b = 2 c = 2

x = (-b +- sqr root (b^2 -4ac)) / 2a

x = (-2 +- sqr root (2^2 - 4*1*2) ) / 2

x = (-2 +- sqr root (4  - 8) ) / 2

x = (-2 + sqr root (-4) ) / 2

x = -1 +- i

22/14 in simplest form
photoshop1234 [79]
Write the prime factorization of both the numerator and denominator.The prime factors of 22 are 2 and 11.
The prime factors of 14 are 2 and 7.  
Rewrite the fraction so that the numerator and denominator are written as the product of their prime factors: 22 / 14 = ( 2 × 11 ) / ( 2 × 7 )Cancel out any common prime factors.
We can cancel out a 72from both the numerator and the denominator.22 / 14 = 11 / 7<span>The fraction 22/14 can be simplified to 11/7.</span>
