- A.
X=-3/2, x=1/2
- B.
B
Correct Answer
A. X=-3/2, x=1/2Explanation
The given equation is a quadratic equation. To solve it, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a). In this case, a = 8, b = 8, and c = -6. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get x = (-8 ± √(8^2 - 4(8)(-6))) / (2(8)). Simplifying further, we have x = (-8 ± √(64 + 192)) / 16. Continuing to simplify, we get x = (-8 ± √256) / 16. Finally, we have x = (-8 ± 16) / 16, which gives us two solutions: x = -3/2 and x = 1/2.Rate this question:

5x2 - 40 = 0
- A.
X= +/- 8
- B.
B
Correct Answer
A. X= +/- 8Explanation
The given equation is a quadratic equation in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0. In this case, the equation is 5x^2 - 40 = 0. To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. By substituting the values of a, b, and c from the given equation into the quadratic formula, we get x = (+/- √(40^2 - 4(5)(-40))) / (2(5)). Simplifying further, we have x = (+/- √(1600 + 800)) / 10, which gives us x = (+/- √2400) / 10. Taking the square root of 2400, we get x = (+/- 48) / 10, which simplifies to x = +/- 8. Therefore, the correct answer is x = +/- 8.Rate this question:

3i(-8-2i)
- A.
6 -24i
- B.
B
Correct Answer
A. 6 -24iExplanation
The given expression involves multiplying 3i with (-8-2i). To solve this, we use the distributive property of multiplication over addition. First, we multiply 3i with -8, which gives us -24i. Then, we multiply 3i with -2i, which gives us -6i^2. Since i^2 is equal to -1, we can substitute -6i^2 with 6. Therefore, the final result is -24i + 6, which can be simplified as 6 - 24i.Rate this question:

- B.
B
Correct Answer
A. X = 9,3Explanation
The equation x^2 - 12x = -27 can be rewritten as x^2 - 12x + 27 = 0. To solve this quadratic equation, we can factor it as (x-9)(x-3) = 0. This means that either (x-9) = 0 or (x-3) = 0. Solving these equations, we find that x = 9 and x = 3 are the solutions to the equation x^2 - 12x = -27. Therefore, the answer is x = 9, 3.Rate this question:

Use quadratic formula x2 - 10x =0
- A.
X= 0,10
- B.
B
Correct Answer
A. X= 0,10Explanation
The quadratic equation given is x^2 - 10x = 0. To solve this equation, we can use the quadratic formula. The quadratic formula states that for an equation in the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, the solutions for x can be found using the formula x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a). In this case, a = 1, b = -10, and c = 0. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get x = (10 ± √(10^2 - 4(1)(0))) / (2(1)). Simplifying this expression gives us x = (10 ± √(100)) / 2. Therefore, x = (10 ± 10) / 2, which simplifies to x = 0 and x = 10.Rate this question:

- A.
X = -2,-10
- B.
B
Correct Answer
A. X = -2,-10Explanation
The given equation is a quadratic equation in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0. To find the solutions, we can use the quadratic formula, which states that x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a). In this case, the equation is x^2 + 12x + 20 = 0, so a = 1, b = 12, and c = 20. Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get x = (-12 ± √(12^2 - 4(1)(20))) / (2(1)). Simplifying further, we have x = (-12 ± √(144 - 80)) / 2, which becomes x = (-12 ± √64) / 2. Finally, x = (-12 ± 8) / 2, giving us the solutions x = -2 and x = -10.Rate this question:

- B.
B
Correct Answer
A. X3-15x2+75x-125Explanation
The given expression (x-5)^3 can be expanded using the binomial theorem. This states that (a+b)^n = a^n + n*a^(n-1)*b + (n(n-1)/2)*a^(n-2)*b^2 + ... + b^n. In this case, a = x and b = -5. Plugging these values into the binomial theorem, we get x^3 + 3*x^2*(-5) + 3*x*(-5)^2 + (-5)^3. Simplifying this expression gives x^3 - 15x^2 + 75x - 125, which matches the given answer.Rate this question:

- A.
X = 1/3
- B.
B
Correct Answer
A. X = 1/3Explanation
The given equation is 27x3 - 1 = 0. To solve for x, we need to isolate x on one side of the equation. Adding 1 to both sides, we get 27x3 = 1. Then, dividing both sides by 27, we find x3 = 1/27. Taking the cube root of both sides, we obtain x = 1/3. Therefore, the correct answer is x = 1/3.Rate this question:
