Find the solution set.
8x^2+7x-1=0

x = - 1, x =

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x² + 7x - 1 = 0 ← in standard form

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 8 × - 1 = - 8 and sum = + 7

The factors are + 8 and - 1

Use these factors to split the x- term

8x² + 8x - x - 1 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

8x(x + 1) - 1(x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (x + 1) from each term

(x + 1)(8x - 1) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x = - 1

8x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 8x = 1 ⇒ x =

Step-by-step explanation:

do i do it on a graph?

step-by-step explanation:

c. y = 1/4 x + 5

step-by-step explanation:

first, put the equation of the line on the graph into slope-intercept form

(y = mx + b):   y = -4x + 8

second, a perpendicular line has to have "an opposite/reciprocal slope" to the original slope. so, find the "m" value in your original equation (it's -4, right? )

original slope: m = -4   perpendicular slope: change the sign to its opposite and find the reciprocal ("flip" the number)

new slope is now positive (b/c the original slope was negative 4), and it's 1/4 (not the original slope of 4 or 4/1)
