General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Factoring
Finding roots of quadratics

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

y = 2x² - 6x - 8

0 = 2x² - 6x - 8

Step 2: Find roots

Factor 2: 0 = 2(x² - 3x - 4)
Factor: 0 = 2(x - 4)(x + 1)
Find roots: x = -1, 4

And we have our final answer!

Answer:

first take 2 out of the equation

y=2(x^2-3x-4)

then factor

y=2(x-4)(x+1)

then solve

(x-4)=0 . (x+1)=0

x=4 . x=-1

Find angles a, b and c? Please help.

Answer:

B=112 degrees A=68 degrees and C=68 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

the opposite angle of the 112-degree angle is the angle on the top left of the page, this means both of the angles are the same. You can then tell that that angle is the same as the one across from it because it shows on the page. You can then figure out the opposite angle which is B so that means angle B is equal to 112 degrees. To figure out angle A you can just do 180 minus the angle B which is 112 degrees. You now know angle A which is 68 degrees, now to find the angle C you just have to notise that angle C is the opposite angle of angle A. This means that algle C is also 68 degrees.
