Answer:
C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3
Step-by-step explanation:
The standard form of a quadratic equation is
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
We need to use the quadratic formula and the given expression to find the values of a, b, and c.
The quadratic formula is
Where the formula has -b, the problem has -2, so b = 2.
Now we have
ax^2 + 2x + c = 0
In the denominator, where the formula has 2a, the problem has 2(1), so a = 1.
Now we have
x^2 + 2x + c = 0
Inside the root, the quadratic formula has -4ac. the problem shows -4(1)(-4). Since we already know that a = 1, then c = -4.
Now we have
x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0
Let's look at choice A.
x^2 + 1 = 2x - 3
Subtract 2x from both sides. Add 3 to both sides.
x^2 - 2x + 4 = 0 <em>This is not it!</em>
Let's look at choice B.
x^2 - 2x - 1 = 3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0 <em>This is not it!</em>
Let's look at choice C.
x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3
Subtract 3 from both sides.
x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0 <em>This is it!</em>
Answer: C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3
