Solve: 16x2 − 81 = 0. I worked it and got 12.728... Please help.

OpenStudy (oraclethinktank):

Is it 16x^2?

OpenStudy (oswaldmurphy):

First thing I did was write down a b and c a: 16 b: 0 c: -81 Yes. 16x^2

OpenStudy (oraclethinktank):

Do you need to graph it?

OpenStudy (oswaldmurphy):

No solve it using quadratic equations.

sammixboo (sammixboo):

OK so do you know what the quadratic formula is, correct?

OpenStudy (oswaldmurphy):

Yes. Is my a,b, and c correct?

sammixboo (sammixboo):

I believe so a = 16 b = 0 c = -81

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Do you have any choices? Just in case

OpenStudy (oswaldmurphy):

x = -0 +- _/0^2 - 4(16)(-81)/2(16)

OpenStudy (oswaldmurphy):

x = 4, 9 x = −4, −9 x = 9 over 4, x = −9 over 4 x = 81 over 16, x = −81 over 16 I wanted to learn it without choices thou :/

sammixboo (sammixboo):

Understandable, Give me a second to solve it myself

|dw:1470414350277:dw| This is our quadratic formula, and we need to plug everything in, so
