Use the quadratic equation to solve this (image of the quadratic equation is below)
Remember that quadratic functions are set up like so:
To make the equation 3x² + 4x = -8 into a quadratic function you must bring -8 to the left side of the equation so it equals zero. To do this add 8 to both sides
3x² + 4x + 8= -8 + 8
3x² + 4x + 8 = 0
That means that in this equation...
a = 3
b = 4
c = 8
^^^Plug these numbers into the quadratic equation and solve (Keep in mind that +/- is ± )
^^^There is no real solution to this equation. You must have an imaginary solution
Simplify
Hope this helped!
