What are the solutions of 4x2 + x = 3? Select one: class=

Verified Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is c.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

\(ax^{2}+bx+c=0\)

The quadratic equation solves the values of ''x'' which satisfy the original equation (In the equation I replace ± by the symbol |):

\(\frac{-b|\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\)

The solutions of \(4x^{2}+x=-3\) are the same that the solutions of \(4x^{2}+x+3=0\)

With \(a=4\\b=1\\c=3\) we replace this in the quadratic equation ⇒

\(\frac{-1|\sqrt{(1)^{2}-4(4)(3)}}{(2)(4)}\)  ⇒

\(\frac{-1|\sqrt{1-48}}{8}\) ⇒

\(\frac{-1|\sqrt{-47}}{8}\)

Given that \(i^{2}=-1\) (imaginary numbers property)

\(\frac{-1|\sqrt{47i^{2}}}{8}=\frac{-1|i\sqrt{47}}{8}\)

The solutions are \(\frac{-1+i\sqrt{47}}{8}\)

and \(\frac{-1-i\sqrt{47}}{8}\)

The correct answer is c.
