Answer:


x_(1)=(1)/(2)\\x_(2)=-(1)/(4)

Explanation:

Hello

For ax2 + bx + c = 0,the values of x which are the solutions of the equation are given by


x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac } }{2a}

± means there are two solution for x, X1 and X2


x_(1) =\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac } }{2a} \\x_(2) =\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac } }{2a}

Step 1

convert 8x2-2x=1 into the form ax2 + bx + c = 0 ( right side equal to cero)

subtract 1 in each side


8x^(2) -2x=1\\8x^(2) -2x-1=1-1\\8x^(2) -2x-1=0

Step 2

replace in the equation

Let

a=8

b=-2

c=-1

Hence


x_(1) =\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac }}{2a}\\ x_(1)=\frac{-(-2)+\sqrt{(-2)^(2)-4(8)(-1) } }{2*8}\\x_(1) =(+2+√(4+32 ))/(16)\\x_(1) =(+2+√(36 ) )/(16)\\x_(1) =(2+√(36 ))/(16)\\x_(1) =(2+6)/(16) \\x_(1) =(8)/(16) \\x_(1)=-(1)/(2)

Now, X2


x_(2) =\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^(2)-4ac }}{2a}\\ x_(2)=\frac{-(-2)-\sqrt{(-2)^(2)-4(8)(-1) } }{2*8}\\x_(1) =(+2-√(4+32 ))/(16)\\x_(2) =(+2-√(36 ) )/(16)\\x_(2) =(2-√(36 ))/(16)\\x_(2) =(2-6)/(16) \\x_(2) =(-4)/(16) \\x_(2)=-(1)/(4)

Have a great day
