x² - 6x -8 = -56 <=> x² -6x + 48 = 0 We now calculate the discriminant (which equals b²-4ac for an equation of the form ax² + bx + c-: D = b²-4ac = (-6)² - 4*1*48 = 36 - 192 = -156 I don't know what kind of course in calculus you are taking, but if you only want the real answers to this equation, you can stop here because the discriminant is negative, meaning there are no real solutions. However, there are complex solutions to this equation The complex roots of D are sqrt(156)*i=12,5*i and -sqrt(156)*i=-12,5*i There are two solutions to a quadratic equation, namely: x1 = (-b + sqrt(D))/(2*a) and x2 = (-b - sqrt(D))/(2*a) so the two solutions we find for this equation are: x1 = (-b + sqrt(D))/(2*a) = (6+12,5i)/2 = 3+6,25i and x2 = (-b - sqrt(D))/(2*a) = (6-12,5i)/2 = 3-6,25i x1 and x2 are complex solutions to this quadratic equation.
Use the slope intercept form here, Y - Y1 = m(X - X1) m = 2 Y1 and X1 = (3, 7) (Y - 7) = 2(X - 3) Y - 7 = 2X - 6 Y = 2X + 1 ----------------the equation of the line

(-1,3),(5,-9) (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-9-3)/(5--1)= (-12/6)= the slope is -2 m(x-x1)=y-y1 -2(x-5)=y--9 -2x+10=y+9 y=-2x+1
It is linear. The highest power is 1 (x = x1, y = y1) so it is linear.

2x-y -5 = 0 => y = 2x -5 The perpendicular slope is the negative reciprocal of 2 which is -1/2 So using the formula of y -y1 = m(x -x1) gives the straight line equation:- y - -2 = -1/2(x -4) y +2 = -1/2x +2 y = -1/2x +2 -2 y = -1/2x which can be expressed in the form of: x +2y = 0 So the straight line equation is: x +2y = 0
An identity is an equation that is always true, for any value of the variable or variables. Here are some examples: x + x = 2x a + b = b + a x1 = x
Use the point-slope form: y - y1 = m(x - x1). From the givens, y1 = 2, x1 = 9, and m = -2. Thus, y - 2 = -2(x - 9) = -2x + 18, or y = -2x + 20.
Use the slope intercept form here, Y - Y1 = m(X - X1) m = 2 Y1 and X1 = (3, 7) (Y - 7) = 2(X - 3) Y - 7 = 2X - 6 Y = 2X + 1 ----------------the equation of the line
To factor this, write the equation 2x2 - 2x - 2 = 0, and solve with the quadratic equation. You may get two numbers, which we may call "x1" and "x2"; in this case, the factorization is (x - x1)(x - x2).
it equals x1 it equals x1
y-y1=m(x-x1) y-7=2(x-3) y-7=2x-6 y=2x-1 y=2x-1

(-1,3),(5,-9) (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)= (-9-3)/(5--1)= (-12/6)= the slope is -2 m(x-x1)=y-y1 -2(x-5)=y--9 -2x+10=y+9 y=-2x+1
use the formula y-y1=m(x-x1)
