Which expression gives the solutions of –5 + 2x² = –6x?
We are given with the expression –5 + 2x² = –6x in which the standard form is 2x² + 6x - 5 = 0 . There are two roots to be identified as expected. Through the quadratic equation, we can identify the a, b and c. Using the equation, the roots are 0.679 and -3.679. The expression is {0.679, -3.679}
Answer:
\(x=\frac{-3(+/-)\sqrt{19}} {2}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
\(-5+2x^{2} =-6x\)
Rewrite
\(2x^{2}+6x-5=0\)
we know that
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form \(ax^{2} +bx+c=0\) is equal to
\(x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}\)
in this problem we have
\(2x^{2}+6x-5=0\)
so
\(a=2\\b=6\\c=-5\)
substitute
\(x=\frac{-6(+/-)\sqrt{6^{2}-4(2)(-5)}} {2(2)}\)
\(x=\frac{-6(+/-)\sqrt{76}} {4}\)
\(x=\frac{-6(+/-)2\sqrt{19}} {4}\)
simplify
\(x=\frac{-3(+/-)\sqrt{19}} {2}\)
