4x^2-2x-4=0 solve using quadratic formula

Mathematics
1 answer:
MArishka [77]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Although you can start with 4x^2-2x-4=0, it's just slightly easier to reduce the coefficients.  4x^2-2x-4=0 becomes 2x^2 - x - 2 = 0.

The discriminant (part of the quadratic formula) is b^2 - 4ac.  Using b = -1. a = 1 and c = -2, we get (-1)^2 - 4(2)(-2), or 17.

                                                       -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)

Then the quadratic formula   x = ---------------------------

                                                                 2a

                                         -(-1) ± √17           1 ± √17

takes on the values  x = -----------------  =  ---------------

                                                  4                      4

Delvig [45]

Answer:

W>20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

L-----> the length of a rectangle

W---> the width of a rectangle

we know that

L=W+9 -----> equation A

W>20 -----> inequality B

The inequality B represent the equation that could be used to find the possible values of the width

The solution for the width of the rectangle  is all real numbers greater than 20 units
