Question

Write the equation in standard form. Then identify the values of a, b, and c that you would use to solve the equation using the Quadratic Formula. *Hint: the value of a needs to be positive. 4x+8=5x^2

Answer 1

Answer:

1.7266

-0.9266

Step-by-step explanation:

5x²= 4x+8

5x²-4x-8=0

here, a= 5, b= -4 and c=-8

x= (-b + √(b²-4ac))/2a

= (4 + √ (16+160))/10

= (4 + 4√11)/10

either, x= 1.7266

or, x= -0.9266
