Question

Given the equation:

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1 and x = $\frac{-4}{5}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation, a=5, b=-1, c=-4.

Plug these into the quadratic formula:

x = $\frac{1+\sqrt{-1^{2}-(-4)(5)(-4) } }{2(5)}$   and x = $\frac{1-\sqrt{-1^{2}-(-4)(5)(-4) } }{2(5)}$

Now, simplify the equations:

x = $\frac{1+\sqrt{81} }{10}$ = $\frac{1+9}{10}$ = $\frac{10}{10}$ = 1

and

x = $\frac{1-\sqrt{81} }{10}$ = $\frac{1-9}{10}$ = $\frac{-8}{10}$ = $\frac{-4}{5}$
