-4x²+16x-24=-1(4x²-16x+24)=-4(x²-4x+6)
x²-4x+6 has no real roots. ☺☺☺☺

Let's complete the square (as this is actually how the quadratic formula is derived)

-4x^2+16x-24=0  make the leading coefficient equal to 1 by dividing the entire equation by -4

x^2-4x+6=0, move the constant to the other side by subtracting 6 from both sides

x^2-4x=-6, halve the linear coefficient, square it, then add it to both sides, (-4/2)^2=4

x^2-4x+4=-2  now the left side is a perfect square

(x-2)^2=-2  now take the square root of both sides

x-2=±i√2  note the imaginary unit i as there is no real square root of -2, now add 2 to both sides

x=2±i√2 so the factored quadratic is:

(x+2-i√2)(x+2+i√2)

Note that these are not real factors, if you were to graph the original equation, it will never intersect with the x-axis...

Help please.<br> Algebra.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

D would be the correct answer.

As you can see in the second equation, y is already isolated. So, we can substitute it into the first equation, to solve for x.

Let me know if this helps!

How do I find x using a mathematical operation?
Svetradugi [14.3K]
I got this. Bottom of the triangle. that flat line is 180 degrees. you have an angle of 120, leaving an angle of 60. if you look at the top, that angle matches the other. so you have 65 degrees on one side, and 60 on the other. so 180-65-60=55. so X=55

When working with inequalities what do you do when its x squared &gt; 16 and vice versa does the sign flip.
S_A_V [24]

Answer:

x4

\{x\in \mathbb{R}|  \:\left(-\infty \:,\:-4\right)\cup \left(4,\:\infty \:\right)    \}

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2>16

x\sqrt{16}

x4

The interval notation will be:

\{x\in \mathbb{R}|  \:\left(-\infty \:,\:-4\right)\cup \left(4,\:\infty \:\right)    \}

The contrary,

x^2

is -4
