a = 4, b = -21, c = -18
to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...
b<sup>2</sup> - 4ac = (-21)<sup>2</sup> - 4(4)(-18) = 729
sqrt(729) = 27
x = (21 +/- 27)/8
x = -3/4, x = 6
since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...
4x<sup>2</sup> - 21x - 18 = 0
(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0
x = -3/4, x = 6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
P is 5 ticks to the left of 0, so it would be -5/8
Q is 5 ticks to the right of 0, so it would be at 5/8
an absolute value turns a negative number into a positive number
so absolute value of P located at -5/8 = 5/8
this is the location of point Q
Joe said that the absolute values of the numbers represented by the two points are the same.
Answer:
exact form - b = -11/5
decimal form - b = -2.2
