There are holt textbooks online if you have an Eclass course page.
Keep these rules in mind:
- (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
- (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
- (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b²
Firstly, solve the exponent and multiplication:

Next, combine like terms:

Next, subtract 4x² on both sides:

Next, subtract 25 on both sides:

Lastly, divide both sides by -20.5. And since you are dividing by a <u>negative</u>, flip the inequality sign:

<u>Your answer is x > 2.</u>
<span>4x² - 5x + 1 = 0
a = 4; b = - 5, c = 1
</span>Δ = b² - 4.a.c
Δ = (-5)² - 4.4.1
Δ = 25 - 16
Δ = 9
<span>
x = - b </span>± √Δ / 2.a
