Solve 5x^2+2x=1 using either factoring, square root method, completing the square or quadratic formula.
1 answer:
Answer:
x = -1 ± √6 / 5
Step-by-step explanation:
Solve + 2x = 1
move 1 to the left side of the equation by subtracting it from both sides.
+ 2x - 1 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.
-b± / 2a
Substitute the values a = 5 , b = 2, and c = -1 into the quadratic formula and solve for x
-2±/ 2 ⋅ 5
Simplify.
x = -2 ± 2 / 10
x = -1 ± / 5
Exact Form:
x = -1 ± / 5

The value (y2) of r = 1/2.
This question relates to equation of a straight line but we are looking for the slope in this case.
<h3>Slope</h3>This is the ratio to which we measure the change along the y-axis to the change along the x-axis. The formula is given as
Data given;
- x1 = 3
- x2 = -3
- y1 = 5
- y2 = r
- m = 34 or 3/4
Substitute the values into the equation and solve for the unknown
NB; we are assuming that the slope here is 34 and not 3/4.
cross multiply both sides and make r the subject of formula
the value of r = -199.
This is not mathematically obtainable and we would use 3/4 as the value of slope
The most logical value of r = 1/2
