Question

Solve by using the quadratic formula. 9x2 + 24x + 32 = 0

Answer 1

The first step for solving this equation is to multiply the first two numbers together.
18 + 24x + 32 = 0
Add together 18 and 32.
50 + 24x = 0
Now move the constant to the right side of the equation and change its sign.
24x = -50
Lastly,, divide both sides of the equation by 24.
x =
`- (25)/(12)`
This means that the correct answer to your question is going to be x =
`- (25)/(12)` or x =
`-2 (1)/(12)` simplified.

Answer 2

The quadratic formula is:


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

b =coefficient of x term = 24
a = coefficient of squared term = 9
c = constant term = 32

Using the values, we get:


`x= (-24+- √(576-4(9)(32)) )/(2(9)) \\ \\ x= (-24+- √(-576) )/(18) \\ \\ x= (-24+-24i)/(18) \\ \\ x= (-4+-4i)/(3) \\ \\ x= (-4+4i)/(3), x (-4-4i)/(2)`
