Question

Give the solution set of the equation $x ^{2} + 4x -17 = 0$ .

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Using the quadratic formula, with :

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

$x = $\frac{-(4) \pm $\sqrt{(4)^{2}$$-4 (1)(-17)}}{2 (1)}$

$x = $\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{16-(-68)}$}{2 }$

$x = $\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{84}$}{2 }$

$x = $\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{4}$ \cdot $\sqrt{21}$}{2 }$

$x = $\frac{-4 \pm 2 \sqrt{21}$}{2 }$

$x = -2 \pm $\sqrt{21}$$

Answer

Using the quadratic formula, with :

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

$x = $\frac{-(4) \pm $\sqrt{(4)^{2}$$-4 (1)(13)}}{2 (1)}$

$x = $\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{16-52}$}{2 }$

$x = $\frac{-4 \pm \sqrt{-36}$}{2 }$

$x = $\frac{-4 \pm i \sqrt{36}$}{2 }$

$x = $\frac{-4 \pm 6 i }{2 }$$

$x = -2 \pm 3 i$

Question

Let

Determine the value of x.

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To solve for x we need to isolate x. We can do this by taking the square root of each side and then doing algebraic operations.

$x-3=\pm6$

Now we need to separate our equation in two and solve for each x.

Question

Find the roots of the following quadratic polynomial:

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

To find the roots of this equation, we need to find which values of make the polynomial equal zero; we do this by factoring. Factoring is a lot of "guess and check" work, but we can figure some things out. If our binomials are in the form , we know times will be and times will be . With that in mind, we can factor our polynomial to

To find the roots, we need to find the -values that make each of our binomials equal zero. For the first one it is , and for the second it is $-$\frac{7}{3}$$ , so our roots are $2, -$\frac{7}{3}$$ .

Answer

When we factor, we are looking for two number that multiply to the constant, , and add to the middle term, . Looking through the factors of , we can find those factors to be and .

Thus, we have the factors:

.

To solve for the solutions, set each of these factors equal to zero.

Thus, we get , or .

Question

Solve for a possible root:

Tap to reveal answer

Answer

Write the quadratic equation.

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

The equation is in the form .

Substitute the proper coefficients into the quadratic equation.

$x= $$\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2$-4(3)(8)}$}{2(3)}=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-96}$}{6}$

$x=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{36-96}$}{6} =\frac{6\pm\sqrt{-60}$}{6}$

The negative square root can be replaced by the imaginary term . Simplify square root 60 by common factors of numbers with perfect squares.

$$\frac{6\pm\sqrt{-60}$}{6} = $\frac{6\pm i\sqrt{60}$}{6} =\frac{6\pm i\sqrt{4}$ \cdot $\sqrt{15}$}{6} =\frac{6\pm 2i\sqrt{15}$}{6}$

Simplify the fraction.

$$\frac{6\pm 2i\sqrt{15}$}{6} = 1\pm $\frac{i\sqrt{15}$}{3}$

A possible root is: $1-$\frac{i\sqrt{15}$}{3}$

Answer

Pull out a common factor of negative four.

The term inside the parentheses can be factored.

Set the binomials equal to zero and solve for the roots. We can ignore the negative four coefficient.

$2x-1=0, x=\frac{1}{2}$$

The answers are: $$\frac{1}{2}$,3$
