$2x-5-\dfrac{x-8}{x+4}=\dfrac{(2x-5)(x+4)}{x+4}-\dfrac{x-8}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{(2x)(x)+(2x)(4)+(-5)(x)+(-5)(4)-x-(-8)}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2+8x-5x-20-x+8}{x+4}=\dfrac{2x^2+2x-12}{x+4}$

Which quadratic equation has the roots -1+4i and -1-4i

AysviL [449]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the quadratic in answer choice C using the quadratic formula:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ .

Here a=1, b=2, and c=17.

Substitute and you'll have:

$x=\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} =\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{(-2)^2-4(1)(17)} }{2(1)}=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{4-68}}{2)}$

$\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{-64} }{2}=\frac{-2+/-8i }{2}=-1+/- 4i$

1.5( x + 4) -3 = 4.5 ( x - 2 )

Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1.5(x + 4) - 3 = 4.5(x - 2)

1.5x + 6 - 3 = 4.5x - 9

1.5x + 3 = 4.5x - 9

3 + 9 = 4.5x - 1.5x

12 = 3x

12/3 = x

F(x)=8_-4x-x^3. g(x)=x^2+7x-9. Find f(x)+g(x)

11111nata11111 [884]

$(8 - 4x - {x}^{3} ) + ( {x}^{2} + 7x - 9) \\ = - {x}^{3} + {x}^{2} - 4x + 7x + 8 - 9 \\ = - {x}^{3} + {x}^{2} + 3x - 1$
$(8x - 4x - {x}^{3} ) + ( {x}^{2} + 7x - 9) \\ - {x}^{3} + {x}^{2} + 8x - 4x + 7x - 9 \\ - {x}^{3} + {x}^{2} + 11x - 9$
The answer is either B, and you forgot to put in the ^2 in the answer choice, or C, and you forgot to put an x where there is a _ in the question.

Check the actual question (the one you recieved, not the one posted here) and see where the mistakes are. If f(x) = 8x - 4x - x^3, then your answer is C. However, if B is actually -x^3 + x^2 + 3x - 1, then the answer is B.
