Answer:

Remember, for solve the quadratic equation

ax^2+bx+c=0

we use the quadratic formula

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

We have the equation 3x+8=9x^2 since a must be 9 then we pass the entire left side of the equation to the right side. We get the equation:

3x+8=9x^2\\8=9x^2-3x\\0=9x^2-3x-8

Then, observe that a=9 and b=-3

Solve each quadratic equation. Show your work. 14. (2x – 1)(x + 7) = 0 15. x2 + 3x = 10 16. 4x2 = 100
andreyandreev [35.5K]
14.  (2x - 1)(x + 7) = 0

Using the zero factor property, we know that either the first or second terms (or both) must be equal to 0 if their product is 0.  We can set each term equal to 0 to find the solutions:

2x - 1 = 0
2x = 1
x = 1/2

x + 7 = 0
x = -7

15.  x^{2} +3x=10

To solve this equation, you first need to set it equal to 0:

x^{2} +3x=10 \\ x^{2} +3x-10 = 0

Next, it can be factored:

x^{2} +3x-10 = 0 \\ (x+5)(x-2)=0

Finally, we can solve just like we did above:

x + 5 = 0
x = -5

x - 2 = 0
x = 2

16.  4x^2=100

First, you can simplify by dividing each side by 4:

4x^2=100 \\ x^2=25

Now, set the equation equal to 0:

x^2=25 \\ x^2-25=0

Next, factor:

x^2-25=0 \\ (x+5)(x-5)=0

Finally, find the solutions:

x + 5 = 0
x = -5

x - 5 = 0
x = 5
