Rewrite Equation: Step Title: Rewrite the EquationConcise Step Description: Rewrite the given equation in standard quadratic form, ax2+bx+c=0.Step Calculation: 8x2+54x−14=0
Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the CoefficientsConcise Step Description: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation, which are the numbers in front of the variables. In this case, the coefficients are 8, 54, and −14.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 8, 54, −14
Find Factors: Step Title: Find the FactorsConcise Step Description: Find two numbers that multiply to the product of the first coefficient 8 and the constant term −14 and add to the middle coefficient 54.Step Calculation: The product of the first coefficient and the constant term is 8×−14=−112. We need two numbers that multiply to −112 and add up to 54.Step Output: Factors: −2,56 (since −2×56=−112 and −2+56=54)
Write Factored Form: Step Title: Write the Factored FormConcise Step Description: Write the factored form of the quadratic equation using the factors found in the previous step.Step Calculation: The factored form is (8x−2)(x−28).
