They are both fractions, but 3/3 is 1 whole and 4/4 is 1 whole also.
so 1 whole times 1 whole equals 1
number form of my explanation:
3/3=1
4/4=1
1x1=1
Describe complete!

Using the quadratic formula to solve 4x2 – 3x + 9 = 2x + 1, what are the values of x?

yaroslaw [1]

Answer:

The value of x is:

$x=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{103}i}{8}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to use the quadratic formula to solve for x.

The equation is given as:

$4x^2-3x+9=2x+1$

which could also be written as:

$4x^2-3x+9-2x-1=0\\\\4x^2-3x-2x+9-1=0\\\\\\4x^2-5x+8=0$

The quadratic formula for the quadratic equation of the type:

$ax^2+bx+c=0$ is given as:

$x=\dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

Here we have:

a=4, b=-5 and c=8.

Hence, by the quadratic formula we have:

$x=\dfrac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4\times 8\times 4}}{2\times 4}\\\\x=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{25-128}}{8}\\\\\\x=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{103}i}{8}$

Hence, the value of x is:

$x=\dfrac{5\pm \sqrt{103}i}{8}$
