Move right part of the equation to left part with negative sign.
The equation is transformed from −4x2+(16x+9)=9 to (−4x2+(16x+9))−9=0 This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant. The roots of the quadratic equation: x1=2aD−b x2=2a−D−b where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant. Because a=−4 b=16 c=0 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(16)^2 - 4 * (-4) * (0) = 256
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=0 x2=4
