Solve for x. Simplify completely. x^2+4x+4=8

1 answer:

5 0

X^2+4x+4=8
-8 -8
subtract 8 from both sides

x^2+4x-4=0

now factor using quadratic formula
ax^2+bx+c=0

x= -b +-[ (sqrt (b^2-4ac))/2a ]

x=-2(1+sqrt(2))

x= 2(sqrt(2) -1)

hope that helps, hopefully you know how to plug and chug into quadratic formula. if not you can ask for help

The answer for 10 2/3×31/8 rounded to the nearest whole number?

BigorU [14]

$10 \frac{2}{3} ( \frac{31}{8})$ can be changed into this equation:

$\frac{32}{3}( \frac{31}{8} )$

The 32 and 8 have a common factor of 8 and can be simplified to become this equation:

$\frac{4}{3} ( \frac{31}{1})$

Now multiply across to get $\frac{124}{3}$ which then simplifies to $41 \frac{1}{3}$ which as a decimal is 41.333 (repeating 3s). Nearest whole number is 41.

Your answer is 41

Let f(x) = 3x +5 and g(x) = -4x +7. Find (fog)(-4)

sesenic [268]

(fog)(x)=f(g(x))

f(g(x))=3(-4x+7)+5
f(g(-4))=3(-4(4)+7)+5=3(-16+7)+5=3(-9)+5=-27+5=-22

(fog)(-4)=-22
