Question

choose the equation that represents the solutions of \\(0 = 0.25x^2 - 8x\\)

\\(x = \frac{0.25 \pm \sqrt{(0.25)^2 - (4)(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}\\)

\\(x = \frac{-0.25 \pm \sqrt{(0.25)^2 - (4)(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}\\)

\\(x = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - (4)(0.25)(0)}}{2(0.25)}\\)

\\(x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - (4)(0.25)(0)}}{2(0.25)}\\)

Explanation:

Identify coefficients of the quadratic equation

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Apply the quadratic formula

$$ LATEXBLOCK1 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(x = \frac{0.25 \pm \sqrt{(0.25)^2 - (4)(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}\)
  • (B) \(x = \frac{-0.25 \pm \sqrt{(0.25)^2 - (4)(1)(-8)}}{2(1)}\)
  • (C) \(x = \frac{8 \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - (4)(0.25)(0)}}{2(0.25)}\) (Correct answer)
  • (D) \(x = \frac{-8 \pm \sqrt{(-8)^2 - (4)(0.25)(0)}}{2(0.25)}\)
