Solve for x -x2+3x+4=0

So for this, I will be factoring by grouping. Firstly, what two terms have a product of -4x² and a sum of 3x? That would be -x and 4x. Replace 3x with -x + 4x:

-x^2-x+4x+4=0

Next, factor -x² - x and 4x + 4 separately. Make sure that they have the same quantity inside of the parentheses:

-x(x+1)+4(x+1)=0

Now you can rewrite the equation as (-x+4)(x+1)=0

Now, apply the Zero Product Property to solve for x as such:

-x+4=0\\-x=-4\\x=4\\\\x+1=0\\x=-1

<u>Your final answer is D. x = -1 and x = 4.</u>

The correct answer is D) x = 4 and x = -1

In order to solve this, we plug into the quadratic equation.

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

In this case, a is the coefficient of x^2 (-1), b is the coefficient of x (3) and c is the constant (4). Now we plug in and solve.

x =  \frac{-(3) +/- \sqrt{3^{2} - 4(-1)(4) } }{2(-1)}

x =  \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{9 + 16 } }{-2}

x = \frac{-3 +/- \sqrt{25 } }{-2}

x =  \frac{-3 +/- 5 } }{-2}

And then we'll split into the two possible answers.

(-3 + -5)/-2 = -8/-2 = 4

(-3 - -5)/-2 = 2/-2 = -1

Ishaan is 3 times as old as Chris and is also 14 years older than Chris. How old is ishaan?
hram777 [196]

Answer:We are also given that Ishaan is 14 years older than Christopher, so I is also 14 more than c. This gives that I = c + 14. Since I = 3c and I = c + 14, we have that 3c is equal to c + 14, giving the equation 3c = c + 14.

well this is from google and just so u know the letters stand for the names

Consider the line -6x-2y=-4.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Parallel Slope: -3 Perpendicular Slope: 1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, solve for y to get the simplified equation for the line.

Once you solve, the equation should be y=-3x+2

Seeing this, we know that the slope of this line is -3. A line parallel will have the same slope as the original equation, and a line perpendicular will have a slope that is the opposite reciprocal.

Hope that helps!
