0 = –16t2 + 36t + 4.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
set
\[-16^2+36t+4=0\] and solve
but i would do some simple algebra first
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thanks!
OpenStudy (nurali):
Anytime.

divide all by \(-4\) and solve
\[4x^2-9x-1=0\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you help me with this one?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that way the arithmetic will be easier when you use the quadratic formula
the numbers are smaller
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[2x^2-8x+7=0\] is the first step
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then one more time it is
\[x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\] with
\[a=2,b=-8,c=7\]

okay! which of the above do you think is the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't know i didn't do it
hold on
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i get \[2\pm\frac{\sqrt2}{2}\] lets see whichone we can match it up with
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, that is already one answer
ok go with that one

THANKS:) i have two more questions:/ could you help mee?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lets try this
\[x^2+6x=-7\\
(x+3)^2=-7+9=2\\
x+3=\pm\sqrt2\\
x=-3\pm\sqrt2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
that method is called "completing the square" as in turn \(x^2+6x\) in to a perfect square by adding \(9\) to both sides, making the left \((x+3)^2\) and the right \(-7+3^2\)

\[x^2-7x+5=0\] etc
OpenStudy (anonymous):
since \(-b\) is \(7\) you can ignore C and D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
in this case \(b^2-4ac=49-20=29\) i would go with B
