Answer:

a = -3

b = 3

c = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's do this the long way!

x = \frac{-3 \pm\sqrt{3^2 - 4 \times (-3) \times 4}}{2 \times (-3)}\\-6x = -3 \pm\sqrt{3^2 - 4 \times (-3) \times 4}\\-6x + 3 = \pm\sqrt{3^2 - 4 \times (-3) \times 4}\\(-6x + 3)^2 = 3^2 - 4 \times (-3) \times 4\\36x^2 - 36x + 9 = 9 + 48\\36x^2 - 36x - 48 = 0\\3x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0

So a = 3, b = -3, and c = -4

HOWEVER:

When you look at the terms in the solution originally given, the are all the negatives of what we see here.  That however makes sense, as we can simply multiply both sides of the equation to get the results they used:

3x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0\\-1(3x^2 - 3x - 4) = -1(0)\\-3x^2 + 3x  + 4 = 0

The equation for the circle below is x^2+y^2=64 what is the length of the circle’s radius
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

<h2>r = 8</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of an equation of a circle:

(x-h)^2+(y-k)^2=r^2

(h, k) - center

r - radius

We have the equation:

x^2+y^2=64\\\\(x-0)^2+(y-0)^2=8^2

Therefore the center is (0, 0) and the radius r = 8
