Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the roots of the equation -2x + 3 = -8x²

Step 1: Our first step is to get the equation in quadratic form so we can use the quadratic formula to find the roots

Quadratic form: ax² + bx + c = 0

We can easily get this equation in quadratic form by moving -8x² to the right side. We can do this using inverse operations. The inverse of subtraction is addition so to get rid of -8x² we add 8x² to both sides

After adding -8x² to both sides we acquire 8x² - 2x + 3 = 0

The equation is now in quadratic form meaning we can now use the quadratic formula to find the roots.

Quadratic Formula : \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^2-4(a)(c)} }{2(a)}

where the values of a, b and c are derived from the equation

Remember that the equation is in quadratic form ax² + bx + c = 0

8x² - 2x + 3 = 0  so a = 8 , b = - 2 and c = 3

We then plug in these values into the quadratic formula ( note that the +- means plus or minus meaning that we have to evaluate this twice, once when the discriminant ( b² - 4(a)(c) is the discriminant ) is being add to -b and once when the discriminant is being subtracted from -b )

First lets evaluate when the discriminant is being added to -b

Recall the quadratic formula : \frac{-b+\sqrt{b^2-4(a)(c)} }{2(a)}

a = 8 , b = - 2 and c = 3

\frac{2+\sqrt{2^2-4(8)(3)} }{2(8)}

Work being done inside of the square root: 2² = 4 , -4 * 8 = -32 , -32 * 3 = -96

4 - 96 = - 92

Work being done at denominator : 2 * 8 = 16

\frac{2+\sqrt{-92} }{16}

The first root is \frac{2+\sqrt{-92} }{16}

We now do this same process but instead we subtract the discriminant.

We would be left with the same thing but it would be \frac{2-\sqrt{-92} }{16} instead of \frac{2+\sqrt{-92} }{16}

In some cases we would get a completely different answer, so evaluating it twice, once  when the discriminant is being add to -b and once when the discriminant is being subtracted from -b may be important in some cases.

We then simplify the two roots. You may notice that there is a negative number under the radical and you might ask how can you square root a negative? well you can't which is when imaginary roots come in. Imaginary roots: i = -1 . We can take out an i from -92 making it 92 because i = -1 and -92/-1 = 92. We would be left with i√92

So we can conclude that the roots of the equation are \frac{2+i\sqrt{92} }{16} and \frac{2-i\sqrt{92} }{16}

Looking at the answer choices we notice that there are two very similar answers. The first and second one. The only difference between the two is that 2 is positive on the first one and 2 is negative on the second one. Looking at the roots we just found, the 2 should be positive therefore the answer is the first one.

Note that ± means plus or minus and it means that the expression can either be added or subtracted and it will be a root. This means that saying the roots are \frac{2+-i\sqrt{92} }{16} is the same as saying the roots are \frac{2+i\sqrt{92} }{16} and \frac{2-i\sqrt{92} }{16}

2*10⁴-7³ please help​
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

19657

Step-by-step explanation:

By PEMDAS, we know we have to calculate the exponents first, then multiply the 2, and then subtract the 7³

2*10⁴ = 20000

20000 - 7³ = 19657

This is the third time I've seen this question. Are you posting this question again and again?

Answer:

The required line can be found by substituting the slope and the given point in the slope intercept form of a line and is given by y=mx+c, where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • In the given question, it is given that a linear function passes through a given point.
  • It is required to find a line parallel to the function.
  • When two functions are parallel, their slopes are equal.
  • Thus, substitute the slope and the given point in the slope intercept form of a line and is given by y=mx+c, where m is the slope and c is the y intercept.
