Hello :
x²+8x-3=0
(x² +2(4)x +4²) -4² -3 = 0
(x+4)²-19 = 0
(x+4)² = 19
x+4 = √19    or x+4 = - √19
 x = √19 - 4  or  x = -√19 - 4

Choose the most appropriate strategy and then use it to solve the quadratic equation.

 (x-8) ^ 2 = 121
 
(x-8) = + / - root (121)
 x = 8 +/- root (121)
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = 8 + root (121)
 
x2 = 8 - root (121)
 2a ^ 2 = 8a-6
 2a ^ 2-8a + 6 = 0
 a ^ 2-4a + 3 = 0
 (a-1) (a-3) = 0
 The solutions are:
 
a1 = 1
 
a2 = 3
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 36 = 4
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 36-4 = 0
 x ^ 2 + 12x + 32 = 0
 (x + 4) (x + 8) = 0
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = -8
 
x2 = -4
 x ^ 2-x + 30 = 0
 
x = (- b +/- root (b ^ 2 - 4 * a * c)) / 2 * a
 x = (- (- 1) +/- root ((- 1) ^ 2 - 4 * (1) * (30))) / 2 * (1)
 x = (1 +/- root (1 - 120))) / 2
 x = (1 +/- root (-119))) / 2
 x = (1 +/- root (119) * i)) / 2
 The solutions are:
 
x1 = (1 + root (119) * i)) / 2
 
x2 = (1 - root (119) * i)) / 2

if a scientist gets unexpected results during the first trail of an experiment what should he or she do next
Tasya [4]

If they get unexpected results they could note what they could've done wrong or what they could change in a next trail of experiments. Or look back and see what different happened to they could've hypothesized. There could be many different courses on what to do next.

A LITTLE HELP PLEASE?!<br><br><br><br> Identify the variable expression that is NOT a polynomial.
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

                     A. 31

Explanation:

The answer is A because a polynomial has at least two integers(more than two numbers) and A is just one integer, someone could get confused thinking is C but its not because <em>y³ </em>means <em>y×y×y, so that would not be the answer. </em>
