damaskus [11]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

\large \boxed{\sf \ \ x = -\dfrac{\sqrt{33}+1}{4} \ \ or \ \ x = \dfrac{\sqrt{33}-1}{4} \ \ }

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please find below my work.

2x^2+x-4=0\\\\\text{*** divide by 2 both sides ***}\\\\x^2+\dfrac{1}{2}x-2=0\\\\\text{*** complete the square ***}\\\\x^2+\dfrac{1}{2}x-2=(x+\dfrac{1}{4})^2-\dfrac{1^2}{4^2}-2=0\\\\\text{*** simplify ***}\\\\(x+\dfrac{1}{4})^2-\dfrac{1+16*2}{16}=(x+\dfrac{1}{4})^2-\dfrac{33}{16}=0

\text{*** add } \dfrac{33}{16} \text{ to both sides ***}\\\\(x+\dfrac{1}{4})^2=\dfrac{33}{16}\\\\\text{**** take the root ***}\\\\x+\dfrac{1}{4}=\pm \dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{4}\\\\\text{*** subtract } \dfrac{1}{4} \text{ from both sides ***}\\\\x = -\dfrac{1}{4} -\dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{4} \ \ or \ \ x = -\dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{\sqrt{33}}{4}

Hope this helps.

Do not hesitate if you need further explanation.
