The first one has to be solved with the quadratic formula, I know how to solve it with other methods but when I use quadratic, I keep getting wrong answers.....


The second one has to be solved with completing the square method..

How much you go pay let me solve immediately

(1)

x²+2x-8=0
x²+4x-2x-8=0
x(x+4)-2(x+4)=0
(x-2)(x+4)=0
x=2 or x=-4
{x} = {2,-4}....

(2)
x²-3x-18=0
x²+3x-6x-18=0
x(x+3)-6(x+3)=0
(x+3)(x-6)=0
x= -3 or x=6
{ x } = {-3,6 }

I know how to solve them like this, you solved them by factoring right? I said the first one should be solved with Quadratic formula a.k.a, Almighty formula .... While the second should be solved with Completing the square method ....Thanks though.... Anytime I use those two methods to solve the questions respectively, I always end up with the wrong answer. I just want someone to solyit using those methods so that I can study their solutions and figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Q3, using general formula

for completing the square method.

Bro, I love you Honestly I feel like kissing you right now God bless you bro...

Help me do the other one then drop your aza or phone number make I do you 1k or 1k sub.

You just saved me from eternal confusion lol

Nice thread; more of this.

the second one has been solved up there bro.

Thank you ....

you are welcome bro

X + X = ex or aids....
Write it down that's the right answer, forget those ones up there. I'm a professional maths lecturer, with PHD in maths and stats.

I just run it now, you can get the second yourself through this principle.

I dey class I now no time to write the rest

AI got your number done.

x = (-b ± √(b²-4ac)) / 2a

Where a = 1, b = 2, and c = -8.

so x = (-2 ± √(2²-41(-)) / 2*1 = (-2 ± √(4+32)) / 2 = (-2 ± √(36)) / 2 = (-2 ± 6) / 2

so x = (-2 + 6) / 2 = 4/2 = 2 or x = (-2 - 6) / 2 = -8/2 = -4

So the solutions are x = 2 and x = -4

Well done Bro.
But you kept typing 'difference of two squares'. Difference of two squares wasn't utilized at any point in your solution

check the left hand side equation, you will see where I used difference of two square bro...check the workings very well !!

People wey get maths brain full ground ooo



Whenever I see numbers in combination of alphabets and it's mathematical question , my brain will just go numb and fall into deep slumper ... Me and mathematics na two parallel lines.



Just the day before yesterday, my neighbor brought me her daughter's first term mathematical examination questions for JSS3 to solve (from a Federal Technical College o)... O mehn! I collected it, thinking it will be baby questions of 1 + 1 ... I see alphabet and numbers my brain wan run comot for my head.

, I said to myself, a graduate will not embarrass his generation like this biko because I can't return the paper to her unattended to. Thank God , a part of my brain was still left in my 'okpo skull' then I ed my younger brother is studying at FUTO, na so I snap the questions and sent to him to help me out ooo ...


The guy with his friends I presumed solved the questions and sent me the snap shots , na so I copy everything and ed across to my neighbor ooo ...


Although I told her it was my younger brother that helped me out, . She was glad!

I can't stop laughing here bro, you tried ooo

This is Difference of two squares
a²-b² = (a + b) (a - b)
What you did on the left hand side was you factored the perfect square. You rewrote the trinomial on the LHS in the perfect square format. That's different from Difference of two squares

use calculator

No stress me

1) which becomes
x=2 or−4

2)
X= 6 or -3

Na who chop belle full dey solve maths... Abeg guy check front, e choke for here

Ask the fellow behind me

I want to implore Nigerians not to follow aba made fake product but the original tested n trusted man

Imagine a man that made doctors go on strike for 13 months telling u he will do well in health sector?
Isn’t it laughable

Imagine a man who refuse to pay lecturers for good 6 months telling u he values education n to add insult on injury he increased ANSU tuition fee by 200%
Isn’t it laughable?

Imagine a man who fails to conduct local government election for good 7 years telling u he will deliver dividends of democracy to u, y didn’t he to that when he was governor?

Imagine a man who can’t manage a majority Christian state n even had to start divide n rule between catholic n others Christian’s telling u he will unite u
No b craze b dat?

The same man who killed youths extrajudicially n dumped their bodies inside awkuzu river telling u he will protect the youth, Nigerians ronu

He’s telling u he will move us from consumption to production but he’s the greatest importer of what his brothers are manufacturing locally

Same man that claim he needs to b stingy by denying people dividends of democracy is stashing money into teenage daughter n even have numerous offshore s

The same man who said he wants to change d old order still romancing obj, ibb, enenche of endsars n the latest the billionaire grass cutter

In Sowore voice…. A thief can’t fix your window

This is what Owobokiri has to say about him then, ask him what has changed today?

Which one be almighty formula
Its called the formula method

Anyways person don solve am up there
