40x+8x^2=0 can be solved for x (there are two solutions):
Divide all 3 terms by the greatest common multiple (which is 8x):
40x+8x^2=0
------------- -----
8x 8x
5 + x = 0 produces the root x = - 5.
Setting 8x = 0 and solving for x produces the root x = 0.
Be certain to check these results. substitute x = -5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false? Next, subs. x=-5 into 40x+8x^2=0. Is the resulting equation true or false?
Answer:
square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
The quilt made by Spencer had a 7×7 array of different color square patches such that each patch is
in long.
To find: the area of the whole quilt
Solution:
Side of each quilt = 
Quilt is in the form of a square such that area of square is given by 
Therefore, area of quilt =
square inches
The answer is going to be yes it's rational. hope that helped
Just count, its really simple...its hard to explain using a keyboard tho...sorry i wasnt much help
