@hero

Naughtyyy:

Yeah hero help the kid cheat on his test

Anthony22054:

its not a test

Anthony22054:

its a study guide

Naughtyyy:

Then why's it timed?

Anthony22054:

literally, all of the assignments are, that's just the way the app works

Anthony22054:

can anyone help?

Florisalreadytaken:

we're given \( 8x^2-9x=1 \overset{\text{compare it to} }{ =====\Rightarrow} ax^2+bx+c \) what is \[ a=? \] \[ b=? \] \[ c=? \] the quadratic formula is in the form of \[ \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \] after finding a,b and c plug the numbers in.

Florisalreadytaken:

oh i forgot to mention, you know that we can turn: \[ 8x^2-9x=1 \] into \[ 8x^2-9x-1=0 \] right?

Anthony22054:

A:1 B:9 C:1 ?

Anthony22054:

A:8

Anthony22054:

yes thats right

Florisalreadytaken:

Nono. let me make it easier to understand \[ 8x^2+(-9)x+(-1)=0 \]

Anthony22054:

yes i get that part its just the rest

Florisalreadytaken:

you dont as the answer you gave about a, b and c is wrong -- the operators play the whole game -- make sure to determine the operators correctly -- so what is a, b and c? look above

Anthony22054:

B:-9 C:-1 right?

Florisalreadytaken:

there you go! how would you plug that information into \( \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \) ?

Anthony22054:

\[\sqrt{-(9)-4(8)(-1)}\]

Anthony22054:

?

Florisalreadytaken:

\(A=8\) right? cuz u did it wrong above! \[ \frac{-(-9)\pm\sqrt{(-9)^2-4\times 8 \times -1}}{2 \times 8} ​\] can you finish it off?

Anthony22054:

yes thank you so much

Anthony22054:

and yes A=8
