Please help me Algebra 2
Solve each equation. 8x2 - 24 = 3x2 - 9
put it first in this form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
i dont even get this at all
just move parts around to get it into the standard quadratic form a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0 8x^2 - 3x^2 - 24 + 9 = 0 5x^2 - 15 = 0
ok i have to find what x equals
yes, you can always use the quadratic formula to find that , do you remember this thing \[x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\]
this is the first time ive ever done this lol i have no clue what im doing
an equation in form a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0 has solutions \[x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a } \]
you have 5x^2 - 15 = 0 a *x^2 + b*x + c = 0 5 *x^2 + 0*x + (-15) = 0 you can put in those values for a,b,c a=5, b=0, c=-15
ok that part makes since
there no examples in your book or notes to follow and practice?
no
here are a few, all those equations are the same form, quadratic ax^2 + bx + c = 0 solving using factoring, or the quadratic formula like we using here
that just makes it a little more confusing for me
