OK. These problems are easy if you know the quadratic formula,
and they're impossible if you don't.
Here's the quadratic formula:
When the equation is in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0
then x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
I'm sure that formula is in your text or your study notes,
right before these questions. You should cut it out or
copy it, and tape it inside the cover of your notebook.
Then, you'll always have it when you need it, until
you have it memorized and can rattle it off.
The first question says 3x² + 5x + 2 = 0
Is this in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ?
Yes ! A=3 B=5 C=2
so you can use the quadratic formula to solve it.
x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
= [ -5 plus or minus √(5² - 4·3·2) ] / 2·3
= [ -5 plus or minus √(25 - 24) ] / 6
= [ -5 plus or minus √1 ] / 6
x = -4 / 6 = -2/3
and
x = -6 / 6 = -1 .

The second question says
4x² + 5x - 1 = 0
Is this in the form of Ax² + Bx + C = 0 ?
Yes it is ! A=4 B=5 C= -1
so you can use the quadratic formula to solve it.
x = [ -B plus or minus √(B²-4AC) ] / 2A
Now, you take it from here.
To rewrite as a function of x (f(x)), write the equation so that y is by itself on one side of the equal sign and an expression involving only x is on the other side.
f (x) = - x^4
Answer:
26x18
Step-by-step explanation:
Just add together 20 and 6 to get 26 and 10 and 8 to get 18. We can test if this is write by adding together 200+160+48+60 to get 468, and then doing 26x18 to also get 468
Hope this helps
