Answer:
Quadratic Formula
so
x = -5
and
x = 0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Whenever you see a problem in this form, which you will see a lot of, you can try to factor it or use the "least squares" method or what have you, but those won't always work, unfortunately.
Fortunately, the quadratic formula will never fail you with quadratic expressions.
This is the Quadratic Formula

a is the the number on the variable with the exponent ^2
b is the number on the variable with no exponent
c is the third number
a and b cannot be equal to 0; c can be
Since we're looking for a number with an equation that has a square root in it, we're going to get two answers. These two answers come from the radical being separately added AND subtracted from the radical. It's basically two problems.
Plugging in our numbers to this equation gives us x values of -5 and 0.5. This will always work with polynomials with factors of ^2 in them.
If you have a TI-84 calculator or newer, there's a tool on it that will factor polynomials like this one for you just by giving it the numbers.
The perpendicular equation would include a slope that is the opposite reciprocal of the original slope.
Steps:
1. Get x to the other side in the original equation. This making the slope -4 or -4/1.
2. Turn the slope into it’s opposite reciprocal m = 1/4.
3. If you use point-slope form, y - y1 = m( x - x1 ), you can substitute y1 and x1 with the numbers in the point given. But since we previously found the opposite reciprocal, we will replace “m” as well. *By the way, the subtraction of a negative makes a positive. [y + 3 = 1/4( x + 4 )]
4. Solve:
A: Distribute (y + 3 = 1/4x + 1)
B: Subtract 3 from both sides (y = 1/4x -2)
Perpendicular Equation: y = 1/4x - 2

Answer:
Part 1) m∠EOD=20°
Part 2) m∠AOD=80°
Step-by-step explanation:
Part 1) Find the measure of angle EOD
we know that °
m∠EOD=m∠EOX-m∠DOX
we have
Observing the figure
m∠EOX=140°
m∠DOX=120°
substitute
m∠EOD=140°-120°=20°
Part 2) Find the measure of angle AOD
we know that °
m∠AOD=m∠DOX-m∠AOX
we have
Observing the figure
m∠AOX=40°
m∠DOX=120°
substitute
m∠AOD=120°-40°=80°
