Sagot :

The solution of the quadratic equation 8x² – 5x – 4 = 0 will be 1.085 and negative 0.460.

What is the solution of the equation?

The solution of the equation means the value of the unknown or variable.

The quadratic equation is given below.

8x² – 5x – 4 = 0

Then we have

a = 8, b = -5, c = -4

Then the solutions will be

[tex]\rm x = \dfrac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\\\\rm x = \dfrac{-(-5)\pm \sqrt{(-5)^2 - 4 * 8 * (-4)}}{2 * 8 }\\\\\\x = \dfrac{5 \pm 12.37}{16}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{5- 12.37}{16}, \dfrac{5 +12.37}{16}[/tex]

On further solving, we have

x = 1.085, -0.460
