Answer:
x=-4 x=2
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x^2 + 2x - 8
Set equal to zero
0 = x^2 + 2x - 8
Factor
What two numbers multiply to -8 and add to 2
4 * -2 = -8
4+-2 = 2
0=(x+4) ( x-2)
Using the zero product property
x+4 =0 x-2 =0
x=-4 x=2
basically you treat y like a number and not a variable
Answer:
a is 4
b is 2y
c is -10y²+9
discriminant is 4(41y²-36)
Step-by-step explanation:
4x²+2xy-10y²+9=0
rewrite in standard form of a quadratic equation like ax² + bx + c = 0
4x²+2yx-10y²+9=0
basically you treat y like a number and not a variable
a is the number with the x²
right away we know a is 4 because of 4x²
b is the one with x so in this formula b is 2y
c is the number without the x which in this case is -10y²+9
discriminant is
b² - 4ac
(2y)²- (4)(4)(-10y²+9)
4y²-(16)(-10y²+9)
4y²-(16)(-10y²+9)
4y²+160y²-144
164y²-144 =
4(41y²-36)
I believe the answer is B. -3.
