A number x is multiplied with itself and then added to the product of 4 and x. If the result of these two operations is -8, what is the value of x?  Pick:
A) -4  B) -2  C) 2  D) 4  E) Cannot be determined.
A number x is multiplied with itself --&gt; X^2   added to the product of 4 and x --&gt; X^2+4X   If the result of these two operations is -4 --&gt; X^2+4X=-8   i.e X^2+4X+8=0 is the Quadratic equation which needs to be solved.   no solution   IMO Cannot be determined.
