Solve for x to 3dp: x^2 + 6x + 2 = 0

We cannot factorise this so we shall use the quadratic formula instead.We need to substitute in the values for a, b, and c.ax 2 + bx + c = 0x 2 + 6x + 2 = 0a = 1, b=6, c=2Once substituted in, we get 2 values...

Solve for x: x^2 + 6x + 8 = 0

First of all we must factorise this:x 2 + 6x + 8 = 0(x+4)(x+2) = 0Now we make each bracket = 0 and solve for x.x+4 = 0 x+2 = 0 x = -4 x = -2
