Answer:
4, 16, -4, 2, -1
x = 4±√(16-4(2)(-1)/4
Correct expression:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the expression
2x² - 8x - 7 = -4x - 6
Rewrite in standard form
2x² - 8x + 4x - 7 + 6 = 0
2x² - 4x - 1 = 0
Get the coefficients
Given the standard form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
ax^2 = 2x^2
a = 2
bx = -4x
b = -4
c = -1
Use the general formula to find the factors
x = -b±√b²-4ac/2a
Substitute the coefficients
x = -(-4)±√(-4)²-4(2)(-1)/2(2)
x = 4±√(16-4(2)(-1)/4
Hence the values are 4, 16, -4, 2, -1
