16r2-8r=-1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have the quadratic equation there: \[\LARGE 16r^2-8r+1=0\] try its formula: \[\LARGE {r_{1/2}} = \frac{{ - b \pm \sqrt {{b^2} - 4ac} }}{{2a}}\] and see what you get ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i want the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well I won't give the answer to you, if you don't try !! where are you stuck ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\LARGE {r_{1/2}} = \frac{{ - ( - 8) \pm \sqrt {64 - 4 \cdot 16 \cdot 1} }}{{2 \cdot 16}}\] tell me what you get...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

30

OpenStudy (anonymous):

try again... here's a hint. \[\LARGE {r_{1/2}} = \frac{{8 \pm \sqrt {64 - 64} }}{{32}}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x=8+32

OpenStudy (anonymous):

64-64=?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so you have: \[{r_{1/2}} = \frac{{8 \pm \sqrt 0 }}{{32}}\] \[{r_{1}} = \frac{{8 }}{{32}}\] and \[{r_{2}} = \frac{{8 }}{{32}}\] what do you get now ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1/4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's correct. Well done

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x2+5x-6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(x+6)(x-1)=0 x=-6 x=1
