does anyone have the answer i have the multipule choice to it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

solve the quardatic equation for x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what the quadratic formula is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i have the multipul choice answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i posted it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Please post a question with the full description of the problem. If you don't we can't help you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(7x-2)(6x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

10x^2+6x-28 =2(5x^2+3x-14) =2(5x-7)(x+2) 5x-7=0 --->x=7/5 x+2=0 --->x=-2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats wrong. You can't use the quadratic

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is not wrong. It is factored and those factors set equal to 0. Solve from there. Not wrong...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(7x-2)(6x+4) 42x^2 + 28x - 12x -8 42x^2 + 16x - 8 42x^2 + 16x - 8 = 0 Roots = [ -b +- sqrt{ b^2 - 4ac ] / 2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sorry, I thought you meant mine was wrong..Lol..I was like..NO

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here are the multip. ans. a x= -7/2 or 3/2 b x=7/2 or -3/2 c =2/7 or -2/3 d x=-2/7or 2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is: -2/3 and 2/7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really? first you must understand why we set them to 0 you can't just ask (7x-2)(6x+4) what are the values of x without understanding why we have to set it to 0. Heck we can set it up as anything.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it just says solve the quadratic equation for x (7x-2)(6x+4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

above are the possible answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In the answers why are there two values?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats why im here lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It means find the roots of that quadratic equation..which is where the y values are equal to 0, therefore we set the equation equal to 0. Hence the two answers..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(7x-2)=0 --->x=2/7 (6x+4)=0 --->-2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah I just think she wants the answers

OpenStudy (anonymous):

answer is C
