Answer:

x = - \frac{1}{2}, x = \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - x - \frac{3}{4} = 0

Multiply through by 4 to clear the fraction

4x² - 4x - 3 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term

product = 4 × - 3 = - 12 and sum = - 4

The factors are + 2 and - 6

Use these factors to split the x- term

4x² + 2x - 6x - 3 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(2x + 1) - 3(2x + 1) = 0 ← factor out (2x + 1) from each term

(2x + 1)(2x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x + 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = - 1 ⇒ x = - \frac{1}{2}

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = \frac{3}{2}

When multiplying and dividing two numbers in scientific notation, why do u sometimes have to rewrite one factor ?
zalisa [80]

You sometimes need to rewrite a factor because the lead number is not between 1 and 10 as it needs to be in scientific notation. For instance, if we had lead numbers of 2 and 5, as we do in the following problem.

2x10^3 * 5x10^9

Then we get the answer of 10x10^12. We need to adjust this by moving the decimal place and increasing the exponent by 1. The correct answer would be 1x10^13 instead.

Twelve less than 5 times a number is greater than or equal to 6 more than twice the number. Each inequality and number line repr
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:  x ≥ 6

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

12 less <u>than</u> 5 times a number ≥ 6 more <u>than</u> twice the number

                    5x - 12                    ≥                        2x + 6

Note: the word "than" switches the order of the terms.

5x - 12 ≥ 2x + 6

<u>-2x  +12</u>  <u>-2x +12 </u>

3x         ≥       18

<u>÷3         </u>     <u>    ÷3 </u>

   x         ≥       6

Graph: 6 -----------→   the dot is closed (filled in) since it is "equal to"
