Use the quadratic formula to solve the equation 2x^2-3x+8=0 a. 3+i sqrt110/4 b. 3+sqrt55/4 c. 3+i sqrt55/4 d. 3+i sqrt55/2

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 -4ac} }{ 2a }\] quadratic formula to find solution

Nnesha (nnesha):

do you know what a b or c are in the quadratic equation

OpenStudy (omgthatgirl):

no

OpenStudy (omgthatgirl):

is it 2 -3 8

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \color{red}{A}x^2 +\color{red}{B}x +\color{red}{C}=0\] quadratic equation A b are coefficient number and C is constant

OpenStudy (mrnood):

@Omgthatgirl yes those are the correct valuesd for a,b & c now put them into th eformula and solve the 2 values for x

OpenStudy (omgthatgirl):

ok lett me do that

OpenStudy (omgthatgirl):

ok i got -55 as the sqrt

OpenStudy (mrnood):

-55 is correct for that part but I think you have not typed the answer options correctly should be +/- where oyu have + (I think)

OpenStudy (omgthatgirl):

|dw:1427573469317:dw|

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1427573387537:dw| separate -1 and 55 and remember \[\huge\rm \sqrt{-1} = i\]

OpenStudy (omgthatgirl):

thats how it actually is not a +

Nnesha (nnesha):

yeah ik :) okay so |dw:1427573498386:dw| factor of -55 -1 and 55 so now you can change sqrt of -1 to i right bec \[\sqrt{-1} =i\]
