Answer 3

@whpalmer4 help please

Answer 4

you would have to make it equal to zero right?

Answer 5

is it (8x)^2 or 8 x^2

Answer 6

it is 8x\[^{2}\]

Answer 7

that expontet is supose to be next to the 8x

Answer 8

i worked it down to 8x squared + 2x - 1 = 0

Answer 9

So factor now..

Answer 10

i don't know how...

Answer 11

it would be like a headphones problem right?

Answer 12

Exactly...

Answer 13

You have to use decomposition

Answer 14

that would make it a negitive 8?

Answer 15

Yeah what x what gives -8 and what + what gives 2

Answer 16

but what can add to 2?

Answer 17

i can't find it

Answer 18

what's 4*-2

Answer 24

right?

Answer 25

Yes

Answer 26

Answer 27

8x^2-2x+4x-1

Answer 28

Don't forget the x's :p

Answer 29

right

Answer 30

You've decomposed it now, now factor each side!

Answer 31

erm it would be(8x^2 -2x) (4x - 1)

Answer 32

Mhm

Answer 33

the it would be um 2x (8x -1 ) 1(4x -1)?
