Use the quadratic formula to solve for x. 5x² + 4x=4 Round your answer to the nearest hundredth. If there is more than one solution, separate them with commas.​

X=0.58, x= -1.38

Quadratic formula is:
(-b-/+ sqrt b^2-4ac)/2a

We need to get the function to equal zero so we subtract 4 from both sides.

5x^2+4x-4=0 is out new equation.

a=5, b=4 and c=-4

Now we can solve by plugging in the variables!

-4+ sqrt 4^2-4(5)(-4)/2(5)= 0.5797

Do the same with subtracting because of the plus OR minus

-4-sqrt 4^2-4(5)(-4)/2(5)= -1.3797

Rounded to the nearest 100th will be:

x= -1.38, x=0.58

You can check your answer by plugging them back into the original function— you should get zero. :)

Rounding decimals is very similar to rounding other numbers. if the hundredths and thousandths places of a decimal is forty-nine or less, they are dropped and the tenths place does not change. for example, rounding 0.843 to the nearest tenth would give 0.8. , your welcome !
