1: Use FOIL method to find the product of the following 2x(x+1)=-8

Sagot :

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Expand the left side using distribution:

  2x(x + 1)

  Distribute 2x across x + 1:

  2x * x + 2x * 1

= 2x^2 + 2x

2. Rewrite the equation with the expanded form:

  2x^2 + 2x = -8

3. Move all terms to one side to set the equation to zero:

  2x^2 + 2x + 8 = 0

4. Solve the quadratic equation 2x^2 + 2x + 8 = 0 using the quadratic formula:

  The quadratic formula is x = (-b ± sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a)

  Here, a = 2, b = 2, and c = 8

  - Calculate the discriminant:

    Discriminant = b^2 - 4ac

    = 2^2 - 4 * 2 * 8

    = 4 - 64

    = -60

  - Compute the roots using the quadratic formula:

    x = (-b ± sqrt(Discriminant)) / (2a)

    x = (-2 ± sqrt(-60)) / (2 * 2)

    x = (-2 ± sqrt(-1 * 60)) / 4

    sqrt(-60) = sqrt(-1 * 60) = i * sqrt(60) = i * sqrt(4 * 15) = 2i * sqrt(15)

    x = (-2 ± 2i * sqrt(15)) / 4

    x = (-1 ± i * sqrt(15)) / 2

Final Answer:

The solutions are:

x = (-1 + i * sqrt(15)) / 2

and

x = (-1 - i * sqrt(15)) / 2
