For a, 7/-8 and -(7/8) are both equivalent to -7/8 because they have 1 negative sign. It doesn't matter where it is on the fraction as long as there is only 1 negative sign.

For b, -2/-3 is equivalent to 2/3 because the double negatives cancel each other out to equal a positive.

Answer:

$\frac{-7}{8}$ = $-\frac{7}{8}$

$\frac{2}{3}$ = $\frac{-2}{-3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

the negative can just move down on -7

the negatives cancel out on -2/-3 to make 2/3

4x^2-21x-18=0 Find the discriminate

SpyIntel [72]

a = 4, b = -21, c = -18

to keep from getting "mixed up", evaluate the discriminant first ...

b2 - 4ac = (-21)2 - 4(4)(-18) = 729

sqrt(729) = 27

x = (21 +/- 27)/8

x = -3/4, x = 6

since the discriminant is a perfect square, the original quadratic will factor ...

4x2 - 21x - 18 = 0

(4x + 3)(x - 6) = 0

x = -3/4, x = 6

What is the Pythagorean theorem and how do I use it?

Leviafan [203]

I actually just learned this in 8th grade and it was so easy its crazy but its honestly simple it helps you solve the triangles and things and the equation is a squared + b squared = c squared and the a and b you would plug in the sides of the triangle or whatever shape your working with and square those numbers then find c by adding the two and then you square the c at the end and that will be your answer.
