Answer:

x = - 4 ± \sqrt{\frac{41}{2} }

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

f(x) = 2x² + 16x - 9

To find the zeros, let f(x) = 0, that is

2x² + 16x - 9 = 0

Using the method of completing the square

The coefficient of the x² term must be 1

Factor out 2 from 2x² + 16x

2(x² + 8x) - 9 = 0

add/ subtract ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² + 8x

2(x² + 2(4)x + 16 - 16) - 9 = 0

2(x + 4)² - 32 - 9 = 0

2(x + 4)² - 41 = 0 ( add 41 to both sides )

2(x + 4)² = 41 ( divide both sides by 2 )

(x + 4)² = \frac{41}{2} ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 4 = ± \sqrt{\frac{41}{2} } ( subtract 4 from both sides )

x = - 4 ± \sqrt{\frac{41}{2} }

Thus

x = - 4 + \sqrt{\frac{41}{2} } or x = - 4 + \sqrt{\frac{41}{2} }

ruslelena [56]

If Jackson went to the movies and payed $7 initially for his ticket and then payed $2 for each box of candy that he buys, then the equation could look like this: y = 2x + 7, where y represents the total cost and x represents the number of boxes of candy Jackson buys.

Professor Lam is grading papers in the teachers' lounge. He has already finished grading 6 assignments, and is grading 4 more as
Delvig [45]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation: If Professor Lam grades 4 papers per hour, in 11 hours he will graded 44 papers. (11 x 4= 44). He had previously graded 6 papers giving him a total of 50 papers graded. His assistant can grade 5 papers per hour, thus it would take him 10 hours to grade the same amount of papers as Professor Lam. (10 x 5= 50) Thus: 11 hours Professor Lam 50 papers graded; 10 hours his assistant 50 papers graded.
