2x²-5x-12=0 (simplify solution set)

Mathematics

Arada [10]2 years ago

Answer:

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify and solve this, let's use the quadratic formula.

So the format of a quadratic equation is supposed look like this:

ax^2+bx+c=0

Let's find a, b, c:

  • a is the coefficient of x^2
  • b is the coefficient of x
  • c is the constant term

Now let's solve the equation.

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

2x^2−5x−12=0

For this equation: a=2, b=-5, c=-12

2x^2+−5x+−12=0

Step 1: Use quadratic formula with a=2, b=-5, c=-12.

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

x=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(-12)} }{2(2)}

x=\frac{5\pm\sqrt{121} }{4}

x=4 or x=\frac{-3}{2}

<u />

<u>Answer:</u>

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Need help. greatly appreciated
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]
1. It must be divisible by 2 and 3. It IS divisible by 2. it IS divisible by 3. No remainder.
2. Add the digits and see if the sum is divisible by 3. Apply this rule to both numbers. 3 is not a common factor.
