How to find the discriminant of

Mathematics
1 answer:
Evgen [1.6K]3 years ago
6 0

the discriminant   b^2 - 4ac when the equation is in the form of ax^2 +bx+c=0


13x^2-16x = x^2 -x


we need to get in it the standard form


subtract x^2 from each side


12x^2 -16x = -x


add x to each side


12x^2 -15x = 0


12x^2 -15x -0 =0


a=12 b=-15 c=0


b^2 -4ac


the discriminant = b^2


b^2 = (-15)2 = 225

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation.
makkiz [27]

Answer:

\implies x = (-2) \qquad or\qquad x = \dfrac{-3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

  • A quadratic equation is given to us.
  • The equation is 2x² + 7x +6=0

And we need to find out the roots of the given equation. We can use the middle term splitting method to find out the roots as ,

<u>Given </u><u>equation</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\implies 2x^2 + 7x +6=0

Step 1: <u>Find</u><u> out</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>factors</u><u> </u><u>of </u><u>1</u><u>2</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

We will choose the two factors such that their sum equals to the coefficient of x i.e. 7 .The factors are , 1×12 , 2×6 , 3×4 .

  • And 3 + 4 = 7. So we will break the middle term into 3x and 4x .

Step 2 :<u> Breaking</u><u> the</u><u> </u><u>middle</u><u> term</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\implies 2x^2 + 3x+4x +6=0

Step 3: <u>Take </u><u>out </u><u>common</u><u> </u><u>from </u><u>terms </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

\implies x(2x + 3) +2(2x +3)=0

\implies ( x +2)(2x+3)=0

Step 4 : <u>Equate </u><u>them </u><u>with </u><u>0</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u><u> </u>

\implies x = (-2) \qquad or\qquad x = \dfrac{-3}{2}

<u>Hence </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>correct</u><u> </u><u>options </u><u>are </u><u>C </u><u>and </u><u>D </u><u>.</u>
