Just plug those numbers in for their respective letters. \[\sqrt{ 8^2 - 4(3)(4) }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you not understand how those numbers got there, orrr...? What's not working?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didnt do pre algebra so i really suck at this

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont really no the basics

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well they just gave you a, b, and c. So you're simply putting the numbers in place of the letters.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then you have what I've just shown: \[\sqrt{ 8^2 - 4(3)(4)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, no. Now you need to carry out the arithmetic. What is \[8^2\] ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

8 squared? you mean
