X^2-8X=10

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

x^2 - 8x -10 = 0

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

this cant be factorized.

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

use the quadratic formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes it can sweetie

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it can't :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no it can't be

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

a = 1 b = -8 c = -10 insert them respectively, \[\Huge \frac{-(b) \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

trust me, it was...

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

u knw the values of a,b & c right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok im back what i miss

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Face. Come help explain how to answer my question :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just give up on this math bull ish

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Devette, all you need to know is:

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x=4\sqrt{26},4-\sqrt{26}\] or x=9.099019 x=-1.09902

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

c'mon facebook... let her learn, instead of giving answers!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you can't factor something, as in your case, no two numbers multiply to 10 while adding to 8. So in your case, you need to use the quadratic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I want to learn it but I just can't grasp the concept

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my name is Face not facebook ty

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

LOL, facebook.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the quadratic is that equation saifoo posted. And your a b and c values are in your equation! the a value is 1 if you just have an x with no coefficient by your first term, and your b value is the coefficient infront of your second x, and your c value is the last number in the equation. This is all horribly general

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just don't know how lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol @ face

OpenStudy (anonymous):

saifoo. care to help me with my question :D You're awesim.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

mhmm he just couldn't answer it but wants to make name jokes lol its ok saifool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

u all have a goodnight

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

My,brain, lets give it a try! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, it's the "I'm working with functions" question

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

lol, here is nothing as such @facebook.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok saifool come take a look at my question mr brainiac

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{-(-8)\pm \sqrt{-8^2-(4*1*(-10))}}{2*1}\]

OpenStudy (saifoo.khan):

where is your question:?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just posted it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I took one look and ran away face.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{8\pm \sqrt{64+40}}{2}=\frac{8\pm \sqrt{104}}{2}\]\[\frac{8\pm2 \sqrt{26}}{2}=4\pm \sqrt{26}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=9.099019514 or: x= -1.099019514 you round, the rest it your

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No mybrain I just went to deal with more complicated things. :-)
