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

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:
?

\(A=8\) 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?
