Patel is solving 8x2 + 16x + 3 = 0. Which steps could he use to solve the quadratic equation? Select three options.

MakcuM [25]

Answer:

8(x2 + 2x) = –3

8(x2 + 2x + 1) = –3 + 8

x = –1 Plus or minus StartRoot StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving Quadratic Equations

Sometimes it's preferred to solve quadratic equations without the use of the known quadratic formula solver. One of the most-used methods consists of completing squares and solving for x.

We have the equation

$\displaystyle 8x^2+16x+3=0$

We separate variables from constants

$\displaystyle 8x^2+16x=-3$

Taking the common factor 8

$\displaystyle 8(x^2+2x)=-3$

Completing squares in the brackets and balancing the equation in the right side

$\displaystyle 8(x^2+2x+1)=-3+8$

Factoring the perfect square

$\displaystyle 8(x+1)^2=5$

Isolating x

$\displaystyle (x+1)^2=\frac{5}{8}$

$\displaystyle (x+1)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{8}}$

$\displaystyle x=-1\pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{8}}$

We can clearly see the steps used to solve the quadratic equation are (in order and written like in the question)

8(x2 + 2x) = –3

8(x2 + 2x + 1) = –3 + 8

x = –1 Plus or minus StartRoot StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction EndRoot

The table below shows how much money a grocery store receives for selling different amounts of asparagus.

Ksivusya [100]

The answer is C) $30.00. First, find out how much 1lb costs. 1lb would cost 1/4 of 4lb. $10×1/4=$2.50/1lb. So 12 pounds would be 12x the cost of 1lb. $2.50×12 pounds=$30/12lb.
