What are the solutions to the function x^2+9x+8=0

The solutions are

Step-by-step explanation:

We must solve the equation:

To solve the equation we can use the factoring method.

To factor the expression, look for two numbers that when you add them, get the result 9 and when multiply them, get the result 8.

You can verify that the numbers that meet this requirement are: 8 and 1.

Then the polynomial factors are:

So

Then

  or  

or  

x = -1 or x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given the function

x² + 9x + 8 = 0

To find the solution of given function

x² + 9x + 8 = 0

By using splitting method we can write,

x² + x + 8x + 8 = 0

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

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

x+ 1 = 0   or x + 8 = 0

x = -1 or x = -8

answer: c, the green line

step-by-step explanation:

there is no black line, eliminate b.

simple interest implies periodic payments, but the red line shows no payments, eliminate d.

simple interest has equal payments. if paid say every day, the graph is about a straight line (actually a stairstep).

the yellow line is not straight, eliminate a.

check: the green line is straight, answer is c.

simple interest with positive interest rate gives a straight line sloping up to the right. green line:

g(t) = $100 + ($200-$100) ÷ (20 years) × (t years)

= $100 + (4%/year) × ($100)(t years)

incidentally, the yellow line curving upward represents continuously compounded interest

y = $100 × 2^(t years / (14 assuming the yellow line hits $200 at 14 years. 2^0 is 1, so y(0) = $100; 2^(14/14) is 2, so y(14) = $200.
