Question

Part 1: Use the quadratic formula to solve x2 + 8x = –2. (3 points)

Part 2: Using complete sentences, explain the process you used. (2 points)

Answer 1

The quadratic formula is:
x1 = [-b+sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
x2= [-b-sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)]/2a
The quadratic is
x^2 + 8x + 2 = 0
a,b,c are the coefficients of quadratic
a = 1, b = 8 and c = 2
x1 = [-8+sqrt(64 - 8)]/2
x1 = (-8+sqrt56)/2
x1 = (-8+2sqrt(14))/2
x1 = -4+sqrt14
x2 = -4-sqrt14

Answer 2

Which u will now have to do yourself so that u can explain the process u used...
