Verified Answer :

a = -10 b = 12 c = -9

x = [-12 +- sq root (144 - 4-10-9)] / -20

x = [-12 +- sq root (144 -360)] / -20

x1 = 3/5 + (14.7 i / -20)

x2 = 3/5 - (14.7 i / -20)

Answer:

\(x =\frac{-12+i\sqrt{216}}{-20},\frac{12+i\sqrt{216}}{20}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : \(-10x^2 + 12x -9 = 0\)

To Find: What are the roots of x?

Solution:

\(-10x^2 + 12x -9 = 0\)

We will solve this by quadratic formula :

Formula : \(x =\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\)

General form of quadratic equation: \(ax^2+bx+c=0\)

On Comparing the given equation with general form.

a = -10

b= 12

c = -9

Substitute the values in the formula :

\(x =\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\)

\(x =\frac{-12\pm\sqrt{12^2-4(-10)(-9)}}{2(-10)}\)

\(x =\frac{-12\pm\sqrt{-216}}{-20}\)

\(x =\frac{-12+\sqrt{-216}}{-20},\frac{-12-\sqrt{-216}}{-20}\)

\(x =\frac{-12+i\sqrt{216}}{-20},\frac{-12-i\sqrt{216}}{-20}\)

\(x =\frac{-12+i\sqrt{216}}{-20},\frac{12+i\sqrt{216}}{20}\)

Hence the roots of x are  \(x =\frac{-12+i\sqrt{216}}{-20},\frac{12+i\sqrt{216}}{20}\)
