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

Al obtener el valor de lo que costará la fiesta de graduación para tu grupo te das cuenta que el lugar que decidieron alquilar p
dybincka [34]

Explicación paso a paso:

Debemos buscar el costo de cada boleto y la cantidad de personas que deben ir.

Dada la función que da forma al comportamiento expresado como;

f (x) = (-2x) ^ 2 + 80x + 300 donde;

x es el costo de cada boleto

f (x) es el número de personas que deben ir

Para obtener x, usaremos la expresión;

x = -b / 2a

De la ecuación cuadrática dada, a = -2, b = 80 yc = 300

Sustituir;

x = -80/2 (-2)

x = -80 / -4

x = 80/4

x = 20

Por lo tanto, el boleto cuesta $ 20.

Lo siguiente es obtener la cantidad de personas que deben ir. Para conseguirlo, sustituiremos x = 20 en la expresión modelada como se muestra;

f (x) = (-2x) ^ 2 + 80x + 300

f (20) = (-2 (20)) ^ 2 + 80 (20) +300

f (20) = (-40) ^ 2 + 1600 + 300

f (20) = 1600 + 1600 + 300

f (20) = 3500

Por lo tanto, 3500 personas tienen que ir
