Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the quadratic formula? Select each correct answer. A. (x − 3)^2 = 36 B. 5x^2 + 7x = 15 C. (x + 8)(x + 9) = 0 D. 0.25x^2 + 0.8x − 8 = 0
@Vocaloid
has to be in the form ax^2 + bx + c which two equations are in this form? remember it must be a trinomial
A and C
please check the answers carefully there must be an ax^2 term, a bx term, and a c term, so three terms total
take A and C out, the answer is B and D
good
due to my calculation, it shows B and D am i correct ?
Which two equations would be most appropriately solved by using the zero product property? Select each correct answer. A. −(x − 1)(x + 9) = 0 B. 3x^2 − 6x = 0 C. 0.25x^2 + 0.8x − 8 = 0 D. 4x² = 13
to user the zero product property you must be able to re-write the equation in the form A*B = 0
B and A
am i correct ?
good
Solve. 8x² + 5 = 35 Round to the nearest hundredth. Enter your answers in the boxes. The solutions are approximately _____ and ______.
think about what steps you need to take to isolate x^2
x^2 is to subtract from both sides to get one side equal to = 0.
-1 and 1
nope, check your calculations again 8x² + 5 = 35 start by subtracting 5 from each side
5 - 5 = 0 5 + -5 + 8x2 = 35 + -5
this is the left side of the equation 8x² + 5 this is the right side 35
8x^2 + 5 - 5 = ?
8x^2
good, and the right side is 35 - 5 = 30 so 8x^2 = 30 x = ?
(you will need to round to the nearest hundreth)
round to the nearest hundredth please, 2 decimal places
3.75
your solutions are 1.9365 and -1.9365 what do we get when we round to the nearest 2 decimal places?
we round it and "The nearest hundredth" means that I need to count off 2 decimal places also we have use the thousandths place to determine whether the hundredths place to round up or it will stay the same.
ok, but what numbers do you get when you round 1.9365 and -1.9365 to two decimal places?
1.93
almost, since 6 is > 5 we round up to 1.94 and -1.94 as your solutions
i knew it almost it was 6 and 5
so now my solutions are 1.93 and - 1.94
1.93 and -1.94 or 1.94 and -1.94
1.94 and -1.94
i thought it was 1.93
hint - for the first one you have two things being multiplied and set equal to 0, what property is this?
zeor product property
good for 4x^2 = 20 we would need to divide by 4 then take the square root, what property is this?
completing the square
no no no
square root
good, square root
thank you so much Vocaloid for all your help, i couldn't done it without you
