The only solution of the equation x2 + bx + 16 = 0 is x = 4. what is the value of b?

b = –16
b = –8
b = 8
b = 16

I believe the answer is b=-8

Step-by-step explanation:

To factor out x2 + bx + 16, the easiest way is to find out 2 different values that will add up to b but when multiplied is positive 16.

Given that the only solution to this equation above is x = 4. the factored out form should be (x - 4)^2 or (x-4)(x-4).

As b should be the addition of these two x values, b should be -8.

0.0076, if you meant 4.125 divided by 0.03125 it would be 132

step-by-step explanation:

first you have to move the decimal in 0.03125 over until its behind the 5 which is 5 places over. now the number is 3125

then you have to move the decimal in 4.125, 5 places over. now the number is 4,112,500.

now you divide like you would normally would and get 0.0076
