Take half of the coefficient of x (which is 2/5) and square it:

[ (1/2)(2/5) ]^2 = (1/5)^2 = 1/25, or 0.04

Thus, to rewrite x^2 + (2/5)x to include a perfect square trinomial,

x^2 + (2/5)x  = x^2 + (2/5)x + (1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or

                 (x+1/5)^2 - (1/5)^2, or (x + 1/5)^2 - 1/25

Sav [38]

Answer:

x=-5/2

Step-by-step explanation:

4 x^2 +20 x +25 = 0

x^2+5x=-25/4

x^2+5x+25/4=0

(x+5/2)^2=0

x=-5/2

(Hope this helps)
