Starting from scratch, it's possible to find the roots:
<span>4x^2=x^3+2x should be rearranged in descending order by powers of x:
x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x = 0. Factoring out x: </span>x(x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0
Clearly, one root is 0. We must now find the roots of (x^2 - 4x + 2):
Here we could learn a lot by graphing. The graph of y = x^2 - 4x + 2 never touches the x-axis, which tells us that (x^2 - 4x + 2) = 0 has no real roots other than x=0. You could also apply the quadratic formula here; if you do, you'll find that the discriminant is negative, meaning that you have two complex, unequal roots.

Answer: y = ⁵/₂ x - 13 OR y + 8 =
⁵/₂ x - 5 </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:</h3>
<u>Find the slope of the perpendicular line</u>
When two lines are perpendicular, the product of their slopes is -1. This means that the slopes are <em>negative-reciprocal</em>s of each other.
⇒ if the slope of this line = - ²/₅
then the slope of the perpendicular line (m) = ⁵/₂
<u>Determine the equation</u>
We can now use the point-slope form (y - y₁) = m(x - x₁)) to write the equation for this line:
⇒ y - (-8) = ⁵/₂ (x - 2)
∴ y + 8 = ⁵/₂ (x - 2)
We can also write the equation in the slope-intercept form by making y the subject of the equation and expanding the bracket to simplify:
since y + 8 = ⁵/₂ (x - 2)
y = ⁵/₂ x - 13
