2x²-5x-12=0 (simplify solution set)

Mathematics
1 answer:
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>Answer:</u>

x = 4 or x = -3/2

Step-by-step explanation:

All the angles in a triangle must add up to a total of 180 degrees.

20+10+?=180

30+?=180

Solve each equation. List any restrictions. Check your solutions. <br> 12/x+11=17
Thepotemich [5.8K]
12+11x=17x11x+12=17x
(both sides of the equation)
11x+12−17x=17x−17x
(Subtract 17x from both sides)
−6x+12=0−6x+12−12=0−12
(Subtract 12 from both sides)
−6x=−12−6x−6=−12−6
(Divide both sides by -6)
x=2
Check answers. (Plug them in to make sure they work.)
x=2
(Works in original equation)
