solution set for the equation -2x^2+8x-8=0 A) {-2} B) {2} C) {-2,2} J) {-2, 0, 5}

D*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

definitely not D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have a polynomial of degree two (quadratic) and it can have at most 2 zeros, not 3 also notice that if you replace x by 0 you do not get 0, you get -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know how i can get the answer?

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

you could use the quadratic formula \[x=\left( \left( -b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac} \right)\over 2a \right)\]where\[y=ax ^{2}=bx=c\]

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

No I meant \[ax ^{2}+bx+c=0\]

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

I guess I'm getting tired and making silly mistakes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you :D

OpenStudy (pfenn1):

you're welcome.

is that possible with that becuase the number inside the radical is negative D:
