Answer:

\boxed {\sf x= {{ - 4\pm \sqrt{22} }}}

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic equation is used to find the roots of a quadratic. The formula is:

x = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {b^2 - 4ac} }}{{2a}}

when  {ax^2 + bx + c = 0}

We are given the quadratic: x^2+8x-6=0

If we compare the given quadratic to the standard form of a quadratic, then:

a= 1\\b=8 \\c= -6

Substitute the values into the formula.

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {8^2 - 4(1)(-6)} }}{{2(1)}}

Solve inside the radical first.

Solve the exponent.

  • 8²= 8*8= 64

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {64 - 4(1)(-6)} }}{{2(1)}}

Multiply 4, 1, and -6.

  • 4(1)(-6)= 4(-6)= -24

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {64 - -24}}}{{2(1)}}

Add 64 and 24 (2 negative signs become a positive)

  • 64- -24 64+24=88

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {88}}}{{2(1)}}

Solve the denominator.

x = \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {88}}}{{2}}

The radical can be simplified. 88 is divisible by a perfect square: 4

x= \frac{{ - 8\pm \sqrt {4}\sqrt{22} }}{{2}}

Take the square root of 4.

x= \frac{{ - 8\pm 2\sqrt{22} }}{{2}}

Divide by 2.

x= {{ - 4\pm \sqrt{22} }}

The roots are: x=0.690416  and x=−8.69042

Q = m-a/x (solve for m)​
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

m=a/x+Q

Step-by-step explanation:

Q=m-a/x

To solve this we need to isolate m so we will bring -a/x to the other side of the equal sign so it will become positive i.e. ax now will be  written as a/x+Q=m

in other wards m=a/x+Q
