Here is our quadratic:
3x^2+4x=2

There are three different methods we can use. I'll explain each in depth.

Factoring
If you want to factor, bring everything over to the left side like so:
<em>3x² + 4x = 2 </em><em>| subtract 2 from each side
</em>3x² + 4x - 2 = 0
Now, we need to find two numbers that add to our x coefficient 4 and multiply to make -6. (our x² coefficient times our constant) There's no whole number answer to that, so factoring isn't going to work.
<em>If we had something like 2x² + 13x + 15 = 0, here's how we'd factor:
</em><em>We want two numbers that add to 13 and multiply to 30...these would be 10 and 3.
</em><em>Now we "split the middle" into these numbers.
</em><em>2x² + 10x + 3x + 15 = 0
</em><em>Factor the first two and last two terms. You should get the same thing inside the parentheses of each.
</em><em>2x(x+5) + 3(x+5) = 0
</em><em>(2x+3)(x+5) = 0
</em><em>Any value of x which causes a factor to equal zero would be a solution.
</em><em>2x + 3 = 0  </em>⇒ <em>2x = -3 </em>⇒ <em>x = -3/2
</em><em>x + 5 = 0 </em>⇒ <em>x = -5
</em>
Completing the square
For this one, keep the constant on the right side.
<em>3x² + 4x = 2</em>
Our x² coefficient needs to be 1, so let's divide by 3.
<em>x² + 4/3x = 2/3
</em>Now we take our x coefficient, halve it, square it, and add it to each side.
<em>Half of 4/3 is 2/3, square that to get 4/9...
</em><em>x² + 4/3x + 4/9 = 2/3 + 4/9
</em><em>x² + 4/3x + 4/9 = 10/9
</em><em />Factor the perfect square trinomial on the left.
(Because we set this up as a perfect square trinomial, just halve the x coefficient and add that to x. Square it for your factored form.)
<em>(x+2/3)² = 10/9 | Take the square root of each side
x+2/3 = </em>±√<em>(10/9)
x+2/3 = </em>±√<em>(10)/3 | Subtract 2/3 from each side.
x = </em>±√<em>(10)/3-2/3
</em>Under one denominator...
x = (-2±√<em />10)/3 (answer C)
<em>
</em>Using the quadratic formula
<em />The solution to any quadratic ax^2+bx+c=0 is x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}.
In the case of our quadratic 3x² + 4x - 2 = 0...
a = 3, b = 4, and c = -2.
Plug these into our formula and simplify.
x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{4^2-4(3)(-2)}}{2(3)}=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+24}}{6}=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{40}}{6}=\frac{-4\pm2\sqrt{10}}{6}=\boxed{\frac{-2\pm\sqrt{10}}{3}}

So if it is 3x^2+4x=2 then
set one side to zero
subtract 2 from both sides
3x^2+4x-2=0
this is not factorable by normal means so use quadratic formula which is if you have the equation in ax^2+bx+c=0 form you can solve for x if you put it into this equation quadratic formula x=\frac{-b+ \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} or  \frac{-b- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a} so if you were to input it into this equation you would get
a=3
b=4
c=-2

the solution is x= \frac{-2+ \sqrt{10} }{3} or \frac{-2- \sqrt{10} }{3}
the answer is  C

David borrowed $30,000 to start a business. Four years later he repaid $1260 in interest. What was the annual rate? Round to two
ollegr [7]
Annual rate = 1.05%

Simple interest formula is I = Prt * 100
Where P is principle, I is interest, r is rate and t is time.

Transpose to make r the subject

Prt * 100 = I
r = I/ Pt * 100

Substitute values into the equation.
Let I = $1260, P = $30,000 and t = 4 years

r = $1260/ $30,000 * 4 * 100
r = 0.0105 * 100
r = 1.05%

The total cost after tax to buy floor tiles is represented by 14f + 0.097(14f), where f represents the number of square feet of
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

exActual room size: 8 ft 7 in x 5 ft 2 in

Convert to inches, actual room size: 103 in x 62 in

103" x 62"= 6386 inches / 144 (1 sf) = 44.50 sf + waste factor (44.50 x 1.10) = 49 sf

The same method is used when measuring walls. Measure the area to be tiled on each wall. Add them together and figure the square footage. Add your waste factor and this is the amount needed.

Most vertical applications will require trim pieces which have finished edges, this requires a linear measurement. Trim pieces will be used:

1. Where a tiled surface ends on an open wall leaving an exposed tile edge,

2. Where a vertical surface meets a horizontal, like on the edge of a countertop,

3. Where a vertical surface turns a corner, like on the outside corner of a wall.

Trim pieces and decoratives are typically sold by the piece. To figure the quantity you have to establish the length of the trim piece (i.e. 6" bullnose, 8" decorative liner), then the rule is: Linear Inches/Piece Length = Quantity
