Solve for x in the following: 8x^2 + 6x = -5
1 answer:
Answer:
No solution or
(-3±)/8
Step-by-step explanation:
To get the solution, move everything to the left side of the equation:
8x²+6x+5 = 0
If you try to factor the equation or graph it, you will see that it will never equal 0.
If you need an imaginary solution you can plug it into the quadratic equation:
-6± over 16
Simplify and you get
-6± over 16
-6± over 16
Simplify the fraction and you can get
(-3±)/8

Micah was asked to add the following expressions:
First, he combined like terms in the numerator and kept the common denominator
First step is correct. He added the like terms in the numerator, because the denominators are same.
So he got ,
In the next step, he cannot cancel out x^2 from the top and bottom . Because x-4 and 3x+2 are added with x^2
If we have x^2 is multiplied with other terms at the top and bottom , then we can cancel out x^2.
So Micah added the expression incorrectly. Final answer is not correct.
