Question 3 (20points)
Solve the quadratic equation using the quadratic
-x2+8x=7

Answer 1

x = 7 or x = 1

Explanation:

For this equation: a=-1, b=8, c=-7

−1x2+8x+−7=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=-1, b=8, c=-7.

x= ( −b±√b2−4ac )/2a

x= (−(8)±√(8)2−4(−1)(−7))/ (2(−1) )

x= (−8±√36 )/-2

x=1 or x=7
