Answer:

C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

We need to use the quadratic formula and the given expression to find the values of a, b, and c.

The quadratic formula is

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

Where the formula has -b, the problem has -2, so b = 2.

Now we have

ax^2 + 2x + c = 0

In the denominator, where the formula has 2a, the problem has 2(1), so a = 1.

Now we have

x^2 + 2x + c = 0

Inside the root, the quadratic formula has -4ac. the problem shows -4(1)(-4). Since we already know that a = 1, then c = -4.

Now we have

x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0

Let's look at choice A.

x^2 + 1 = 2x - 3

Subtract 2x from both sides. Add 3 to both sides.

x^2 - 2x + 4 = 0   <em>This is not it!</em>

Let's look at choice B.

x^2 - 2x - 1 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides.

x^2 - 2x - 4 = 0     <em>This is not it!</em>

Let's look at choice C.

x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3

Subtract 3 from both sides.

x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0     <em>This is it!</em>

Answer: C. x^2 + 2x - 1 = 3

Factor completely 4x4 − 24x3 + 36x2.
ipn [44]

The previous answer from another person got deleted, so I'm here to put it back in my own words.

(Edit: The answer is A)

First of all, you can take 4 out of each, so simplify everything by 4.

4(x^4 - 6x^3 + 9x^2)

Next, you can see that you're able to take out x^2

4x^2(x^2 - 6x + 9)

You can see that both x^2 and 9 are perfect squares, meaning you can crunch them together like this

(x+3)^2 or (x-3)^2

Of course, only one would work, and as fate has it, (x-3)^ produces x^2 - 6x + 9

This would turn the now factored equation into :

4x^2(x-3)^2 or 4x^2(x-3)(x-3), this means the answer is A

mariarad [96]

Answer:

X=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Using distributive property: 1/3(12x-24)=16

4x- 8=16

Using oposite oporations on both sides:

4x-8=16

4x+8=16-8

4x=8

8/4=2

x=2
