Solve the quadratic equation 4x2 − 121 = 0. Verify your answer using a difference-of-squares factoring method.
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

Option d) is correct

That is x equals plus or minus start fraction 11 over two end fraction

Step-by-step explanation:

Given quadratic equation is 4x^2-121=0

To write the given quadratic equation by using a difference-of-squares factoring method:

4x^2-121=0

The above equation can be written as

4x^2-11^2=0

(2x)^2-11^2=0

The above equation is in the form of difference-of-squares

Therefore the given quadratic equation can be written in the form of difference-of-squares

by factoring method is (2x)^2-11^2=0

(2x+11)(2x-11)=0 (which is in the form a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b) )

2x+11=0   or   2x-11=0

x=\frac{-11}{2}    or   2x=11

x=\frac{-11}{2}    or   x=\frac{11}{2}

x=\pm \frac{11}{2}

Therefore option d) is correct

That is x equals plus or minus start fraction 11 over two end fraction
