OpenStudy (anonymous):

ummm what is your question exactly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

show how the get the answer highlighted in red please

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[9x^2+8x=13\] First we move the 13 over to the other side so it in the standard form of a quadratic equation \[9x^2+8x-13=0\] a=9, b=8, c=-13 Now we need to use the quadratic formula which is \[\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4*a*c}}{2a}\] Begin plugging in your a,b and c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then we can simplify and our answer will look pretty much identical to that one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you follow so far @vajhrbmn

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you familiar with the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

here one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the entire question? usually it say. solve this equation using... so what was the full qauestion?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Firstly a quadratic equation in standard form is \(ax^2+bx+c=0\) In this case our equation is \(9x^2+8x-13=0\) So our a=9, b=8 and c=-13

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now we are given the quadratic formula that I have provided above and you basically plug in the values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can give the answer away but I do think it is imperative to use your brain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah i was plugging it into the quadratic forumula and geting -4/9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just want to see the steps so I can get the answer in the future

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhhh okkk ill do it for you

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ \frac{ -8 \pm \sqrt{8^2-4(9)(-13)}}{2(9)}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{64+468}}{18}\] \[\frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{532}}{18}\] \[\frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{2*2*133}}{18}\] \[\frac{-8 \pm2 \sqrt{133}}{18}\] \[\frac{2(-4 \pm \sqrt{133})}{18}\] \[\frac{(-4 \pm \sqrt{133})}{9}\]
