What you want to do is solve all of these so that it equals to 0 on one side. The ones that are a quadratic will have x^2
x^2 - 2x = 4x + 1
x^2 - 6x - 1 = 0
Yes this is a quadratic
x^3 - 6x^2 + 8 = 0
No this is not a quadratic because the highest power of x is to the power of 3
5x - 3 = 0
No it is not a quadratic because it does not have x^2
2x^2 + 12x = 0
Yes because there's x^2
5x - 1 = 3x + 8
2x - 9 = 0
No because no x^2
9x^2 + 6x - 3 = 0
Yes because there's x^2
the answer to the first question is B
the answer to the second question is also B i think
The answer is 2,-8.
But I am not sure. Hope this will help you!
You could simplify this work by factoring "3" out of all four terms, as follows:
3(x^2 + 2x - 3) =3(0) = 0
Hold the 3 for later re-insertion. Focus on "completing the square" of x^2 + 2x - 3.
1. Take the coefficient (2) of x and halve it: 2 divided by 2 is 1
2. Square this result: 1^2 = 1
3. Add this result (1) to x^2 + 2x, holding the "-3" for later:
x^2 +2x
4 Subtract (1) from x^2 + 2x + 1: x^2 + 2x + 1 -3 -1 = 0,
or x^2 + 2x + 1 - 4 = 0
5. Simplify, remembering that x^2 + 2x + 1 is a perfect square:
(x+1)^2 - 4 = 0
We have "completed the square." We can stop here. or, we could solve for x: one way would be to factor the left side:
[(x+1)-2][(x+1)+2]=0 The solutions would then be:
x+1-2=0=> x-1=0, or x=1, and
x+1 +2 = 0 => x+3=0, or x=-3. (you were not asked to do this).
