Part 1: Solve the following equation using one of the methods listed below. Show all work. (4 points)
Part 2: Using complete sentences, explain why you chose the method you used. (2 points)

Equation:
0 = x2 + 8x + 4

Methods:
Completing the Square
Factoring
Quadratic Formula
Graphing

Answer 2

i cant figure it out

Answer 3

x^2 + 8x + 4 = 0 =====> let's take as (8/2)^2

(x +
x^2 + 8x + (8/2)^2 - (8/2)^2 + 4 = 0

x^2 + 8x + (42)^2 - (4)^2 + 4 = 0

x^2 + 8x + 16 - 16 + 4 = 0

(x + 4)^2 - 16 + 4 = 0

(x + 4)^2 - 12 = 0 <===== completing the square

(x + 4)^2 = 12

(x + 4) = +/- √(12)

x = - 4 +/- √(4 * 3)

x = - 4 +/- 2√(3)

the reason i chose completing the square is because we can't use factoring.
we can use quadratic formula, but it is longer.
we can use graphing but it is more work.

Answer 4

ok thnx
