If you multiply 13 to itself you get 169
so the square root is 13
9x^2 - 16x + 60
Find the discriminant, b^2 - 4ac, which is the same as the value of the radicand.
(-16)^2 - 4 * 9 * 60 = -1904
Since the discriminant is negative, there will be NO real solutions, and 2 complex solutions.
Part B.
4x^2 + 8x - 5 = 0
You can tell if a quadratic is factorable if you find the discriminant and it is a perfect square. The discriminant for this quadratic is 144 so it is factorable.
(2x + 5)(2x - 1) = 0
Set each factor equal to zero.
2x + 5 = 0 2x - 1 = 0
subt 5 from both sides add 1 to both sides
2x = -5 2x = 1
divide both sides by 2 divide both sides by 2
x = -5/2 <span> </span> x = 1/2
