Answer:
x = 1 ±2sqrt(5)
Step-by-step explanation:
2x^2-4x-9=29
Add 9 to each each side
2x^2-4x-9+9=29+9
2x^2-4x=38
Divide by 2
2/2x^2-4/2x=38/8
x^2 -2x =19
Complete the square
x^2 -2x + (-2/2)^2 = 19 +(-2/2)^2
x^2 -2x +1 = 19+1
(x-1)^1=2 = 20
Take the square root of each side
sqrt((x-1)^2) = ±sqrt(20)
x-1 = ±sqrt(20)
Add 1 to each side
x-1+1 = 1 ±sqrt(20)
x = 1 ±sqrt(20)
Simplifying the square root of 20
x = 1 ±sqrt(4)sqrt(5)
x = 1 ±2sqrt(5)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Rewrite this quadratic in standard form: 3x^2 + 7x - 1.
The coefficients of x are {3, 7, -1}, and so the discriminant is b^2 - 4ac, or
7^2 - 4(3)(-1), or 49 + 12, or 61. Because the discriminant is positive, this quadratic has two real, unequal roots
