x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

To do the last question using the quadratic formula, you first need the equation in standard form.

ax² + bx + c = 0.

To convert 2(x - 2)(x + 1) = x² - 4x - 5 into standard form, simplify by expanding and collecting like terms. Then, have the equation equate to "0" by moving everything to one side.

2(x - 2)(x + 1) = x² - 4x - 5 Expand brackets first using FOIL

2(x² + x - 2x - 2) = x² - 4x - 5 Collect like terms in brackets (x - 2x = -x)

2(x² - x - 2) = x² - 4x - 5 Distribute, multiply bracket numbers by "2"

2x² - 2x - 4 = x² - 4x - 5 Now make the equation equal 0

2x² - 2x - 4 - x² = x² - 4x - 5 - x² Subtract x² from both sides

x² - 2x - 4 = -4x - 5 "x²" eliminated from the right side. Simplify left side.

x² - 2x - 4 + 4x = -4x - 5 + 4x Add 4x to both sides.

x² + 2x - 4 = -5 "4x" eliminated from right side. Simplify left side.

x² + 2x - 4 + 5 = -5 + 5 Add 5 to both sides to eliminate it on the right.

x² + 2x + 1 = 0 Simplified left side.

This is now in standard form. State the "a", "b" and "c" values based on the standard form variables.

a = 1; b = 2; c = 1

Substitute into the quadratic formula

$x = \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac} }{2a}$ (Please ignore the Â, it's a formatting error)

$x = \frac{-2±\sqrt{2^{2}-4(1)(1)} }{2(1)}$ Simplify the square root

$x = \frac{-2±\sqrt{0} }{2}$ The square root of 0 is 0.

$x = \frac{-2}{2}$ The numerator can only be -2. Simplify the fraction

x = -1 Only one answer for "x".

Whenever the square root equals "0", there will only be one answer for "x".

hello from mrbilldoesmath!

answer:

25x^2 + 90x + 84

discussion:

mn(x) = m(n(x)) = m( 5x + 9) =

(5x + 9)^2 + 3 =>

25x^2 + 90x + 9^2 + 3 =

25x^2 + 90x + 84 (as 9^2 = 9*9 = 81)

which is the second choice

p.s. i'll be on vacation from friday, dec 22 to jan 2, 2019. have a great new year!
