Solve the equation by factoring.

4(2x²+9) or

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the equation by factoring, we want to set the equation to zero. In order to have the equation equal to zero, we want to add both sides by 36.

8x²=-36            [add both sides by 36]

8x²+36=0

When it comes to factoring, we want to pull out numbers or variables that are common in each term.

8x²+36=0         [take out a 4 in each term]

4(2x²+9)=0

It may seem that 2x²+9 can be factored further, it actually can't. This tells us that the factored form of the equation is 4(2x²+9)=0.

To solve the equation, we want to find the value of x. We already know the graph does not cross the x-axis because the y-intercept or vertex is (0,9).

4(2x²+9)=0       [divide both sides by 4]

2x²+9=0            [subtract both sides by 9]

2x²=-9               [divide both sides by 2]

x²=-9/2              [square root both sides]

or

Step-by-step explanation:

8x² = -36

~Divide 8 to both sides

x² = -36/8

~Simplify

x² = -9/2

~Take the square root of both sides

x = ±√-9/2

~Simplify

x = ±i3√2/2

Best of Luck!

we'll this would mean that the dunk tank and the bounce house are the same for 20 hours because the 2 represents that the two activities, and the 20 represents the amount of hours they both are. so with this said, it means that the answer is c. the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

c.the costs for a dunk tank and bounce house are the same for 20 hours.

hope this .

step-by-step explanation:

4^(x+2)=12

4^(x+2)=12

take the log base 4 on each side

log 4 (4^(x+2) = log 4(12)

we know log b(a^y) = y log b (a)

(x+2) log 4(4) = log 4 (12)

x+2 = log 4 (12)

we know   logb c = loga c/loga b

we want to convert to base 10   so a = 10

by default, we do not write the 10   c = 4   and b = 10

log4 10 = log 12/log 4

log4 10 = log 12/ log 4

x+2 = log 12/ log 4

subtract 2 from each side

x +2 -2 = log 12/ log 4 -2

x = 1.79248125 -2

x =-.20752
