Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.2d2−8d+6=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.d = _____ or d = _____
Identify values: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation2d2−8d+6=0 by comparing it to the standard form ax2+bx+c=0.a=2b=−8c=6
Substitute in formula: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula to find d.d=2a−b±b2−4acd=2⋅2−(−8)±(−8)2−4⋅2⋅6
Simplify terms: Simplify the terms under the square root and the constants outside the square root. d=48±64−48d=48±16
Calculate square root: Calculate the square root of 16 and simplify the expression further.d=4(8±4)Identify the two possible values for d.d=4(8+4)or d=4(8−4)
Identify possible values: Solve for the two values of d.d=412 or d=44d=3, or d=1
