4x=square root 8+8x

mathslover (mathslover):

\[\huge{4x=\sqrt{8+8x}}\] \[\huge{16x^2=8+8x}\] \[\huge{16x^2-8x-8=0}\] \[\huge{a = 16 , b = -8,c =- 8 }\] can u solve it now ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No..

mathslover (mathslover):

with the help of quadratic equation : \[x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

mathslover (mathslover):

with the help of this formula?

mathslover (mathslover):

try to solve ..

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

\[4x = \sqrt{8+8x}\] \[=> 16x^2 = 8+8x\] \[=> 2x^2 - x - 1 = 0\] \[=> 2x^2 - 2x + x - 1 = 0\] \[=> 2x(x - 1)+1(x-1) = 0\] \[=> (2x+1)(x-1) = 0\] \[=> x = \frac{-1}{2} or (1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I honestly don't know how.

OpenStudy (vishweshshrimali5):

@mathslover I don't think there is any need for applying quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I agree, you don't need to apply the quadratic formula here. You can if you want to, but unless you're a computer program there's methods that take less time.
