Question

Solve 5x^2 − 3x + 17 = 9.

Answer 1

Answer:

The roots of the equation are x = $\frac{3+\sqrt{151}i}{10}$ and x = $\frac{3-\sqrt{151}i}{10}$

and there are no real roots of the equation given above

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve:

5x² − 3x + 17 = 9

or

⇒ 5x² − 3x + 17 - 9 = 0

or

⇒ 5x² − 3x + 8 = 0

Now,

the roots of the equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0 is given as:

x = $\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

in the above given equation

a = 5

b = -3

c = 8

therefore,

x = $\frac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2-4\times5\times8}}{2\times5}$

or

x = $\frac{3\pm\sqrt{9-160}}{10}$

or

x = $\frac{3+\sqrt{-151}}{10}$ and x = $\frac{3-\sqrt{-151}}{10}$

or

x = $\frac{3+\sqrt{151}i}{10}$ and x = $\frac{3-\sqrt{151}i}{10}$

here i = √(-1)

Hence,

The roots of the equation are x = $\frac{3+\sqrt{151}i}{10}$ and x = $\frac{3-\sqrt{151}i}{10}$

and there are no real roots of the equation given above
