9 plus or minus the square root of 17 divided by 8.
negative 9 plus or minus the square root of 145 divided by 8.
9 plus or minus the square root of 145 divided by 8.
negative 9 plus or minus the square root of 17 divided by 8

x =(-9-√17)/8=-1.640
x =(-9+√17)/8=-0.610

yes @just_one_last_goodbye

1. Simplify -4x2-9x - 4
OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):
#1 subtract (-9x -4) from both sides
OpenStudy (anonymous):
-4x2 - 9x - 4 = -1 • (4x2 + 9x + 4)
OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):
The second step can be followed in 2 way either completing the square or Quadratic Formula.

@Gabylovesyou let just do squaring ^_^
OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):
after the first step this is what our problem should look like now\[4x^2 + 9x +4 =0\]
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
ok for step 2, what is easier ?

well squaring is easier ^_^
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
ok then squaring :)
OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):
Ok next step is dividing both sides by 4
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

@just_one_last_goodbye Don't worry :)
OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):
Do you know where I got the 4 from or no?
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
cuz of 4x^2 ?
OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):
yes correct ^_^

so when you divide both sides by 4 you get\[x^2 + \frac{ 9x }{ 4 } +1 = 0\]
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
ok.. :)
OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):
Then subtract 1 from both sides \[x^2 +9\ \frac{ 9x }{ 4 } =-1\]
OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):
ok
OpenStudy (just_one_last_goodbye):
._. seems like OS doesn't have this but its a triple fraction
