The solutions to the quadratic equation 4(x + 2)² = 36 is x = -5 and x = 1.
Hence, option c) x = -5 and x = 1 is the correct answer.
What is a Quadratic Equation?
Quadratic equation is simply an algebraic expression of the second degree in x. Quadratic equation in its standard form is;
ax² + bx + c = 0
Where x is the unknown
To solve for x, we use the quadratic formula
x = (-b±√(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)
Given that;
4(x + 2)² = 36
4( x(x + 2) + 2(x+2) ) = 36
4( x² + 2x + 2x + 4 ) = 36
4( x² + 4x + 4 ) = 36
4x² + 16x + 16 = 36
4x² + 16x + 16 - 36 = 0
4x² + 16x - 20 = 0
We can further simply ( divide through by 4 )
x² + 4x - 5 = 0
Hence,
x = (-b±√(b² - 4ac)) / (2a)
x = (-4±√(4² - (4 × 1 × -5)) / (2×1)
x = (-4±√(16 - (-20)) / (2)
x = (-4±√(16 + 20)) / (2)
x = (-4±√(36)) / 2
x = (-4±6)) / 2
Hence
x = (-4-6)) / 2 and x = (-4+6)) / 2
x = -10/2 and x = 2/2
x = -5 and x = 1
The solutions to the quadratic equation 4(x + 2)² = 36 is x = -5 and x = 1.
Hence, option c) x = -5 and x = 1 is the correct answer.
