Answer:  x= -8  or x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2 + 15x = 8      Subtract 8 from both sides to let the whole equation equal 0

            - 8     -8

2x^2 + 15x - 8 = 0      Now find two numbers that if you multiply them, their product will be -16 and their sum will be 15. An example is the numbers 16 and -1.     16 times -1 is -16  and 16 plus -1 is 15.

Rewrite the whole equation in this form,

2x^2 +16x - 1x - 8 = 0      Factor on the left side

2x ( x + 8)  -1 (x + 8) = 0     Now factor out x + 8

 

(x + 8) (2x -1) = 0            Set each expression equal zero, because for the whole expression to equation to 0, either one of them or all of them have to equation zero.

x + 8 = 0        or   2x - 1 = 0  

  -8     -8                     +1  +1

   x = - 8                  2x  = 1

                                 x = 1/2

1. Complete the inequality below to describe the
dezoksy [38]

Domain is the entire span left to right (on the x-axis) that the graph is on. Since the graph goes from x=-4 and ends at x=4, the domain would be from -4 to 4. The circle at -4 is open, so it does not include the point at -4, just everything leading up to it. So, the domain would be

- 4 < x \leqslant 4

The range is similar, it is the entire span that the graph goes up and down (on the y-axis). The graph starts at the bottom at y=-2, and ends at y=5. The bottom point (4,-2) is closed, so the graph includes that point, and the top point (-4,5) is open and doesn't include the point. Therefore, the range would be

- 2 \leqslant x < 5
