Remember that quadratic formula: x= \frac{-b(+/-) \sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a} is used to solve quadratic equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c.

Four our problem, the first one, (x-1)^2=4, is not in the form ax^{2}+bx+c. So is not a good idea to use the quadratic formula for this one.

The second one, 0.25x^{2}+0.8x-8=0, is in the correct form. Notice that in this equation a=0.25, b=0.8, and c=-8. It would be appropriate to use the quadratic formula to solve this one.

The third one, 3x^{2}-4x=15, can be expressed as: 3x^{2}-4x-15=0. This equation is also in the correct form. Here a=3, b=-4, and c=-15. It would be appropriate to use the quadratic formula to solve this one.

The fourth one, (x-6)(x+6)=0, is not in the form ax^{2}+bx+c. So is not a good idea to use the quadratic formula for this one.

We can conclude that you should use the quadratic formula to solve the second and third equations.

What is an equation of a the line through (-1, -4) and parallel to the line 3x+y=5
Greeley [361]

Answer: y + 4 = -3(x+1)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to rewrite in form of y=mx+b.

3x+y=5

     y = -3x + 5  

The slope is -3.

In addition, the slope of two parallel line would be equal, the slope of the line would be -3.

y- y1 = m(x- x1)

y- (-4) = -3(x - -1)

y + 4 = -3(x+1)

Answer:

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that in the triangle, the angle is either known or in terms of x. This means we can make an equation: 82 + (9x - 6) + (6x - 1) = 180. Now, add up tthe terms to get 15x + 75 = 180, or 15x = 105 or x = 7.
