Answer: x=2 or x=-12

Step-by-step explanation: Subtract 12 to both sides of the equation: x² + 10x = 24. Subtract 24 to both sides of the equation: x² + 10x -24. Next, find out which two numbers multiply to -24 and add up to 10: 12 and -2.

X² + 12x + -2x -24.

X(x - 2) and 12(x - 2)

Solve for x: (x+12) and (x-2) = 0

X = -12 or x=2

Answer:  The correct option is

(A) x = -12 or x = 2.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to solve the following quadratic equation for x :

x^2+10x+12=36~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)

From equation (i), we have

x^2+10x+12=36\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+10x+12-36=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+10x-24=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2+12x-2x-24=0~~~~~~~[\textup{the sum of 12 and -2 is 10 and product is -24}]\\\\\Rightarrow x(x+12)-2(x+12)=0\\\\\Rightarrow (x+12)(x-2)=0\\\\\Rightarrow x+12=0,~~~~x-2=0\\\\\Rightarrow x=-12,2.

Thus, the required solution of the given equation is x = -12 or x = 2.

Option (A) is CORRECT.

Solve for the roots in the equation below. x4 + 3x2 - 4 = 0
fgiga [73]
First, you need to rewrite the expression into binomial form, so you are working with two terms (as you world with a quadratic):
(x²)²-3(x²)-4=0
Now, you can place the x²s into brackets as the coefficient is now 1:
(x²  )(x²  )
Next, find out two numbers that add together to give you -3 and multiply to give -4 (these are the leftover integers after removing the x²s). These two numbers are -4 and 1.
Place the -4 and 1 into the brackets:
(x²-4)(x²+1)=0
Notice that the x²-4 is a difference of two squares, so can be further factorised into (x+2)(x-2)
This leaves you with a final factorisation of:
(x+2)(x-2)(x²+1)=0
Now we handle each bracket individually to obtain our four solutions for x:
x+2=0
x=-2
x-2=0
x=2
x²+1=0
x²=1

What is the y-intercept of a line that has a slope of 1/4 and passes through point (8,3)
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

point slope formula: y-y1=m(x-x1)

y-(3)=\frac{1}{4}(x-(8))

y-3=\frac{1}{4}x-2

y=\frac{1}{4}x+1
