Answer 1

The solutions to the quadratic equation in the exact form are x = -1/2 or x = -5

What are quadratic equations?

Quadratic equations are second-order polynomial equations and they have the form y = ax^2 + bx + c or y = a(x - h)^2 + k

How to determine the solution to the quadratic equation?

A quadratic equations can be split to several equations and it can be solved as a whole

In this case, the quadratic equation is given as

5x^2 + 11x + 2 = 0

Using the form of the quadratic equation y = ax^2 + bx + c, we have

a = 5, b = 11 and c = 2

The quadratic equation can be solved using the following formula

x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac))/2a

Substitute the known values of a, b and c in the above equation

x = (-11 ± √(11^2 - 4 * 5 * 2))/2*2

Evaluate the exponent

x = (-11 ± √(121 - 4 * 5 * 2))/2*2

Evaluate the products

x = (-11 ± √(121 - 40))/4

Evaluate the sum

x = (-11 ± √(81))/4

Take the square root of 81

x = (-11 ± 9)/4

Expand

x = 1/4 * (-11 + 9) or x = 1/4 * (-11 - 9)

Evaluate the difference

x = 1/4 * -2 or x = 1/4 * -20

Evaluate the product

x = -1/2 or x = -5

Hence, the solutions to the quadratic equation in the exact form are x = -1/2 or x = -5
