Answer 1

The value of x is 1.14 or x = -1.47

We find the value of x in the quadratic equation 3x^2 +x-5=0

Using the formula: (-b ± √ (b²- 4 a c)) / (2a)

Where the value of a = 3, b = 1 and c = -5

Substituting the above values (a = 3, b = 1 and c = -5)

in the formula:

(-1 ± √ (1²- 4 3 (-5))) / (2*3)

= (-1 ± √ (1+60)) / (6)

= (-1 ± √ (61)) / (6)

= (-1 ± 7.81) / (6)

= (-1 + 7.81) / (6) or (-1 -7.81) / (6)

= (6.81) / (6) or (-8.81) / (6)

=1.135 or -1.468

Hence the value of x= 1.14 or -1.47
