A quadratic equation is shown below: 3x2 − 16x + 2 = 0 Part A: Describe the solution(s) to the equation by just determining the radicand. Show your work. (5 points) Part B: Solve 9x2 + 3x − 2 = 0 by using an appropriate method. Show the steps of your work, and explain why you chose the method used. (5 points)

here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u know what radicand is

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Isn't it kind of like the square root of a number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its the dumber under the square root symbol \[\sqrt{3}\] for example the 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i meant number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is the 2 in 3x2 an exponent

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How would we figure out B?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think I kind of have A solved, there's two solutions, I just gotta figure out how to show my work with it, but i'm stuck on B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well lets solve it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got x=1/3, -2/3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well u can just plug it into the quadratic formula for b to show ur work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got x = 1 over 3, -2 over 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But I need a description of why I chose that and i need to show my work

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You there? @DaBest21

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pooja195

OpenStudy (anonymous):

just say how u got that answer
