hi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is your question about this quadratic equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x(x-4)=0 x=0 or x-4=0 x=0 or x=4

Nnesha (nnesha):

find the GCF what is common in both terms ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i need help using the quadratic formula for this problem........

Nnesha (nnesha):

oaky should mention that *using the qudratic formula*

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sorry lol.........

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\] plugin a ,b c values \[\huge\rm Ax^2+Bx+C=0\] a=leading coefficient b= middle term c= constant term

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4\sqrt{16 - 0} }{ 2}\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

a= ? b=? c= ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually nvm listen to @Nnesha

OpenStudy (anonymous):

damn i think i just gave her the answer ... sorry about that @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm \color{reD}{A}x^2+\color{blue}{B}x+\color{green}{C}=0\] \[\huge\rm \color{reD}{1}x^2\color{blue}{-4}x=0\]a ,b ,c values are a= leading coefficient b=middle term c=constant term

Nnesha (nnesha):

so what is a , b and c in this equation 1x2 -4x = 0 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is wat i got so far,,, \[\frac{ (-4±\sqrt{-4^2-4*0*1}) }{ 2*1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i know how to substitute and all..its the solving part......... @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

put the parentheses (-4)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i forgot that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops ok next.........

Nnesha (nnesha):

-4^2 isn't same as (-4)^2 and there is negative sign in the formula and b value is also negative \[\huge\rm \frac{\color{ReD}{-} (-4)±\sqrt{(-4)^2-(4*0*1)} }{ 2*1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ (−(-4)±\sqrt{16−4∗0∗1}) }{ 2 }\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

yep :)

Nnesha (nnesha):

-(-4) distribute :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4±\sqrt{1} }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

???

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmmm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then??...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4\pm1 }{ 2 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4+1 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 5 }{ 2 }\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

how did you get one under the square root ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ 4-1 }{ 2 }=\frac{ 3 }{ 2 }\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @plzzhelpme \[\frac{ 4±\sqrt{1} }{ 2 }\] \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) here how did you get one ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i subtracted 4 from 16 = 12 then 12*0*1=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh i did that part wrong.......

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its 15??

Nnesha (nnesha):

ye ^^ try again \[\sqrt{16-(4 \times 0 \times 1)}\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

no not 15

Nnesha (nnesha):

when ou multiply a number by 0 what will you get ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

4 times 0 ? x times 0 = ?? chocolates times 0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0

Nnesha (nnesha):

yes so 4 times 0 times 1 = 0 \[\sqrt{16-(4 \times 0 \times 1)}\] \[\sqrt{16-0}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16

Nnesha (nnesha):

sqrt{16} = ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @plzzhelpme \[\frac{ 4±\sqrt{1} }{ 2 }\] \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) so it's \[x=\frac{ 4±\sqrt{16} }{ 2 }\] take square root of 16 and then solve!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok.....thx.....

Nnesha (nnesha):

got the answer ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya 0 and 4

Nnesha (nnesha):

:=)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Nnesha how would u check the solution when we only have : x=4 ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

plug it into the equation if both sides are equal then yes 4 is a solution of that equation and if both sides are not equal then nope 4 isn't a solution of that equation

Nnesha (nnesha):

let 's use our own pretty hands 4^32-4(4) = 0 16-16=0 both sides are equal r?

Nnesha (nnesha):

hurry up! gtg ;P

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why 4^32 ?? @Nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

how ??

Nnesha (nnesha):

ohh my bad *backspace* button isn't working only on this page so yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok ya thats 0

Nnesha (nnesha):

\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Nnesha let 's use our own pretty hands 4^32-4(4) = 0 16-16=0 both sides are equal r? \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) correction 4^2 -4(4)=0

Nnesha (nnesha):

wiill give you 16-16=0 (16-16) =0 so 0=0 both sides are equal so yes 4 is a solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yayyy thx soo much........
