2x^2+6x=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

type and integer or simplified fraction use commas to sepreate answers if needed

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2(x+4)(x-1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so what would the final answer be 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im looking for an integer or simplified fraction use commas to seperate answers asneeded

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that is the equation simplified, the answer depends on what x is.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So thats an integer or simplified fraction?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good day jlmack07, if you are looking for the roots or the values of x's please use the quadratic formula to find the value. recall that the quadratic equation is \[{-b \pm} \sqrt{b ^{2} - 4ac \over 2a}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thats just simplified to make it easyier.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

set a = 2 coefficient of x^2 set b = 6 coefficient of x and set c = 8 constant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OK wow thats way more advanced than where I am so were looking at 6,8 being the answer or has it not reached that stage yet?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nope, wait ill type the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you asking what x needs to be in order to equall 6 or 8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thanks for your help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } \pm 1.3229i\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that shoul be it therefore simplifying the equation by its nfactor you should be writing the answer as: \[( x - \frac{ 3 }{ 2 } + 1.3229i) (x + \frac{ 3 }{ 2 } + 1.3229i)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope my answer help you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you for your help now to write that as an integer or simplified fraction with commas seperating as needed how you would you write that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should write it simply as complex fraction, \[x = { {(-\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } + 1.3229i)}}, (-\frac{ 3 }{ 2 } - 1.3229i) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer is 4,1
