Patel is solving 8x2 + 16x + 3 = 0. Which steps could he use to solve the quadratic equation? Select three options.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Solving Quadratic Equations </u>

Sometimes it's preferred to solve quadratic equations without the use of the known quadratic formula solver. One of the most-used methods consists of completing squares and solving for x.

We have the equation

$\displaystyle 8x^2+16x+3=0$

We separate variables from constants

$\displaystyle 8x^2+16x=-3$

Taking the common factor 8

$\displaystyle 8(x^2+2x)=-3$

Completing squares in the brackets and balancing the equation in the right side

$\displaystyle 8(x^2+2x+1)=-3+8$

Factoring the perfect square

$\displaystyle 8(x+1)^2=5$

Isolating x

$\displaystyle (x+1)^2=\frac{5}{8}$

$\displaystyle (x+1)=\pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{8}}$

$\displaystyle x=-1\pm \sqrt{\frac{5}{8}}$

We can clearly see the steps used to solve the quadratic equation are (in order and written like in the question)

8(x2 + 2x) = –3

8(x2 + 2x + 1) = –3 + 8

x = –1 Plus or minus StartRoot StartFraction 5 Over 8 EndFraction EndRoot

4 there are only red sweets and yellow sweets in a bag.

Taya2010 [7]

Using the probability concept, it is found that since the number of red sweets would be a decimal number, the probability cannot be $\dfrac{7}{10}$

<h3>What is probability?</h3>

Probability is defined as the ratio of the number of favourable outcomes to the total number of outcomes in other words the probability is the number that shows the happening of the event.
