10a²-3a=18

Mathematics
1 answer:
rodikova [14]3 years ago
6 0

The two solutions are:

\boxed{a_{1}=\frac{3}{2} \ and \ a_{2}=-\frac{6}{5}}

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Here we have the following equation:

10a^2-3a=18

To write this quadratic equation in Standard form, let's subtract 18 from both sides, so:

10a^2-3a-18=18-18 \\ \\ 10a^2-3a-18=0

The problem states:

<em>Solve for a using the quadratic formula </em><em>or</em><em> completing the square.</em>

So, let's choose the quadratic formula:

For: \\ \\ ax^2+bx+c=0 \\ \\ \\ The \ quadratic \ formula \ is: \\ \\ x_{12}=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

So:

a_{12}=\frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2-4(10)(-18)}}{2(10)} \\ \\ a_{12}=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9+720}}{20} \\ \\ a_{12}=\frac{3 \pm \sqrt{729}}{20} \\ \\ a_{12}=\frac{3 \pm 27}{20} \\ \\ \\ Two \ solutions: \\ \\ a_{1}=\frac{3 + 27}{20} =\frac{30}{20} \therefore \boxed{a_{1}=\frac{3}{2}} \\ \\ \\ a_{2}=\frac{3 - 27}{20} =\frac{-24}{20} \therefore \boxed{a_{2}=-\frac{6}{5}}

A = 2BD + 2BC + 2DC for C
zaharov [31]
Start by subtracting 2BD from both sides:
A-2BD=2BC+2DC
Factor the C out of the equation:
A-2BD=C(2B+2D)
Divide both sides of the equation by 2B+2D:
(A-2BD)/(2B+2D) = C
