Question

unsimplified solution for x2 + 8x + 6 = 0? WILL MEDAL AND FAN

Answer 1

no, it's in a form like
\[x=-8+\sqrt{40}\\]
--------------------
4

Answer 2

Use the Quadratic Formula

\[\Large x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

Answer 3

in this case

a = 1
b =8
c = 6

Answer 4

yeah the answer's -7.16, -.83 i think but idk how to show it unsimplified.

Answer 5

well instead of evaluating, you just stop beforehand

Answer 6

what is the value of \[\Large b^2-4ac\]

Answer 7

40

Answer 8

b = 8, so -b = -8

a = 1, so 2a = 2*1 = 2

Answer 9

that means we go from

\[\Large x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

to

\[\Large x=\frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{40}}{2}\]

Answer 10

ohhhh okay thanks
