Question

What are the solutions of the quadratic equation? 4x^2+34x+60=0

Answer 1

Answer:

Option 3) -6,-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$4x^{2} +34x+60=0$  

so

$a=4\\b=34\\c=60$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-34(+/-)\sqrt{34^{2}-4(4)(60)}} {2(4)}$

$x=\frac{-34(+/-)\sqrt{196}} {8}$

$x=\frac{-34(+/-)14} {8}$

$x_1=\frac{-34(+)14} {8}=-\frac{20}{8}=-\frac{5}{2}$

$x_2=\frac{-34(-)14} {8}=-6$
