What is the value of b2 - 4ac for the following equation? x(x + 8) = 9 28 64 100

C) 100

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is x(x + 8) = 9

Distributing x insides, we get

x^2 + 8x = 9

Now set the equation equal to zero.

x^2 + 8x - 9 =0

Here a = 1, b = 8, and c = -9

b^2 - 4ac = (8)^2 - 4*1*-9

= 64 + 36

= 100

Therefore, b^2 - 4ac = 100.

C) 100

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.
