The error is that he probably forgot the decimal point thus causing him to say '"hundred" instead of "and" for the decimal point.

Detmermine the best method to solve the following equation, then solve the equation. (3x-5)^2=-125

liq [111]

For the given equation;

$(3x-5)^2=-125$

We shall begin by expanding the parenthesis on the left side, after which we would combine all terms on and move all of them to the left side, which shall yield a quadratic equation. Then we shall solve.

Let us begin by expanding the parenthesis;

$\begin{gathered} (3x-5)^2\Rightarrow(3x-5)(3x-5) \\ (3x-5)(3x-5)=9x^2-15x-15x+25 \\ (3x-5)^2=9x^2-30x+25 \end{gathered}$

Now that we have expanded the left side of the equation, we would have;

$\begin{gathered} 9x^2-30x+25=-125 \\ \text{Add 125 to both sides and we'll have;} \\ 9x^2-30x+25+125=-125+125 \\ 9x^2-30x+150=0 \end{gathered}$

We shall now solve the resulting quadratic equation using the quadratic formula as follows;

$\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \text{Where;} \\ a=9,b=-30,c=150 \\ x=\frac{-(-30)\pm\sqrt[]{(-30)^2-4(9)(150)}}{2(9)} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{900-5400}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-4500}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900\times5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900}\times\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Therefore;} \\ x=\frac{30+30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18},x=\frac{30-30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Divide all through by 6, and we'll have;} \\ x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3} \end{gathered}$

ANSWER:

$x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3}$

Can I get some help..please?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

-2 and 21/50

Step-by-step explanation:

PEMDAS says that paranthases go first, so we solve 2 and 1/5 minus 33/12. 2 and 1/5 simplifies to the improper fraction, 11/5. Then we find a common denominater between 11/5 and 33/12 to get 60. 11/5=132/60, and 33/12=165/60. (132/60)-(165/60)=-33/60. Then we multipl that by 4 and 2/5, which can simplify to the improper fraction, 22/5. (22/5)*(-33/60) is -726/300, and simplifies to -2 and 21/50. Hope this helps!
