Question

Plz help what is the solutions tu this equation x^2+4x=-2

Answer 1

"Please help. What is the solution to this equation?"
\[x^2+4x=-2\]

We can do this a few ways. We can graph it and find where the curve \(y=x^2+4x\) intersects the line \(y =-2\). (see attached image).

Or we can graph \(y = x^2+4x+2\) and see where this intersects the x-axis (x-axis is the line y = 0). (see other attached picture).

You can also use factoring, but that takes a bit of time to explain. Let me know if the graphs make sense. :)
