Which choices are solutions to the following equations x^2+8x-2=18

Mathematics

Olin [163]2 years ago

Answer:

-4 ± 2√6

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewritten in standard quadratic form, x^2+8x-2=18 becomes x^2 + 8x - 20 = 0.

Here the quadratic coefficients are a = 1, b = 8 and c = -20 and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or 8^2 - 4(1)(-20), or 96.

Because the discriminant is positive, we know that this quadratic has two different real roots.  These roots are:

      -b ± √(b² - 4ac)

x = -------------------------

                 2a

which in this case comes out to:

       -8 ± √96          -8 ± 4√6          

x = ------------------ = ------------------- = -4 ± 2√6

             2                        2

Hey DatGamer13!

Question:

Solve for x

Solution:

Subtract 10 from both sides.

3x^2 + 13x − 10 = 10 − 10

3x^2 + 13x − 10 = 0

Factor left side of equation.

(3x − 2) (x + 5) = 0

Set factors equal to 0.

3x − 2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Answer:

x = 2/3 or x = −5
