What are the possible values of x in 8x2 + 4x = -1?

Westkost [7]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The possible values of x are:

x= \frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\,or\,\, x= 0.18

and

x= \frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, or \,\, x= -0.68

Step-by-step explanation:

8x^2+4x+1=0

Using Quadratic formula to solve this equation:

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\a = 8 \,\, b = 4\,\, c = -1\\Putting \,\, values \,\, in \,\, the\,\, equation\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(8)(-1)}}{2(8)}\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+32}}{16}\\x= \frac{-4\pm\sqrt{48}}{16}\\x= \frac{-4+ \sqrt{48}}{16} \,\, and \,\, x= \frac{-4- \sqrt{48}}{16}\\x= \frac{-1+ \sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, and \,\, x= \frac{-1- \sqrt{3}}{4}

The possible values of x are:

x= \frac{-1+\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\,or\,\, x= 0.18

and

x= \frac{-1-\sqrt{3}}{4} \,\, or \,\, x= -0.68

HELP PLEASE I NEED HELP OH DEAR LORD

#5,

it says that the angle on top is 221, so you subtract that from 360,

360-221= the rest..... 139
 Now in that 139, you can see that there is a triangle with a right angle. so you can subtract 90 degrees from 139

139-90= 49
49 is the number you use to solve the rest.
3x + 4x = 7x
so 7x = 49
and then you divide 7 from both sides to isolate x, and you get your answer

9 - 3 = 6
J + 6 < 8 subtract 6 from both sides
J + 6 - 6 < 8 - 6
J < 2
