What are the solutions of 2x2 + 3x= –8?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first, you need to transpose -8 to the left side or in other words, make the right side zero. you will end up with a quadratic equation, use the quadratic formula to find the roots/ solutions/factors of the equation\[x=\left( \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a} \right)\]

how would u make it equal zero? @Data_LG2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you need to transpose -8 to the left side so it will be \(2x^2+3x +8=0\) then a=2, b=3, c=8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

√3^2−4(2)(8) --------------------------- 2 * 2 is that right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you forgot something

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what did i forget

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\["-b \pm "\] before the discriminant

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3+- √3^2−4(2)(8) --------------------------- 2 * 2
