Answer:
The correct answer is (D) x=4 or x=-5
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(3 • (x - 4) • (x + 5)) - 2 = 0
Step 2 :
Equation at the end of step 2 :
3 • (x - 4) • (x + 5) - 2 = 0
Step 3 :
Trying to factor by splitting the middle term
3.1 Factoring 3x2+3x-62
The first term is, 3x2 its coefficient is 3 .
The middle term is, +3x its coefficient is 3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -62
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 3 • -62 = -186
Step-2 : Find two factors of -186 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 3 .
-186 + 1 = -185
-93 + 2 = -91
-62 + 3 = -59
-31 + 6 = -25
-6 + 31 = 25
-3 + 62 = 59
-2 + 93 = 91
-1 + 186 = 185
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Equation at the end of step 3 :
3x2 + 3x - 62 = 0
Step 4 :
Parabola, Finding the Vertex :
4.1 Find the Vertex of y = 3x2+3x-62
Parabolas have a highest or a lowest point called the Vertex . Our parabola opens up and accordingly has a lowest point (AKA absolute minimum) . We know this even before plotting "y" because the coefficient of the first term, 3 , is positive (greater than zero).
Each parabola has a vertical line of symmetry that passes through its vertex. Because of this symmetry, the line of symmetry would, for example, pass through the midpoint of the two x -intercepts (roots or solutions) of the parabola. That is, if the parabola has indeed two real solutions.
Parabolas can model many real life situations, such as the height above ground, of an object thrown upward, after some period of time. The vertex of the parabola can provide us with information, such as the maximum height that object, thrown upwards, can reach. For this reason we want to be able to find the coordinates of the vertex.
For any parabola,Ax2+Bx+C,the x -coordinate of the vertex is given by -B/(2A) . In our case the x coordinate is -0.5000
Plugging into the parabola formula -0.5000 for x we can calculate the y -coordinate :
y = 3.0 * -0.50 * -0.50 + 3.0 * -0.50 - 62.0
or y = -62.750
Parabola, Graphing Vertex and X-Intercepts :
Root plot for : y = 3x2+3x-62
Axis of Symmetry (dashed) {x}={-0.50}
Vertex at {x,y} = {-0.50,-62.75}
x -Intercepts (Roots) :
Root 1 at {x,y} = {-5.07, 0.00}
Root 2 at {x,y} = { 4.07, 0.00}
Solve Quadratic Equation by Completing The Square
4.2 Solving 3x2+3x-62 = 0 by Completing The Square .
Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to have 1 as the coefficient of the first term :
x2+x-(62/3) = 0
Add 62/3 to both side of the equation :
x2+x = 62/3
Now the clever bit: Take the coefficient of x , which is 1 , divide by two, giving 1/2 , and finally square it giving 1/4
Add 1/4 to both sides of the equation :
On the right hand side we have :
62/3 + 1/4 The common denominator of the two fractions is 12 Adding (248/12)+(3/12) gives 251/12
So adding to both sides we finally get :
x2+x+(1/4) = 251/12
Adding 1/4 has completed the left hand side into a perfect square :
x2+x+(1/4) =
(x+(1/2)) • (x+(1/2)) =
(x+(1/2))2
Things which are equal to the same thing are also equal to one another. Since
x2+x+(1/4) = 251/12 and
x2+x+(1/4) = (x+(1/2))2
then, according to the law of transitivity,
(x+(1/2))2 = 251/12
Note that the square root of
(x+(1/2))2 is
(x+(1/2))2/2 =
(x+(1/2))1 =
x+(1/2)
Now, applying the Square Root Principle to Eq. #4.2.1 we get:
x+(1/2) = √ 251/12
Subtract 1/2 from both sides to obtain:
x = -1/2 + √ 251/12
Since a square root has two values, one positive and the other negative
x2 + x - (62/3) = 0
has two solutions:
x = -1/2 + √ 251/12
or
x = -1/2 - √ 251/12
Note that √ 251/12 can be written as
√ 251 / √ 12
- B ± √ B2-4AC
x = ————————
2A
In our case, A = 3
B = 3
C = -62
Accordingly, B2 - 4AC =
9 - (-744) =
753
Applying the quadratic formula :
-3 ± √ 753
x = ——————
6
√ 753 , rounded to 4 decimal digits, is 27.4408
So now we are looking at:
x = ( -3 ± 27.441 ) / 6
Two real solutions:
x =(-3+√753)/6=-1/2+1/6√ 753 = 4.073
or:
x =(-3-√753)/6=-1/2-1/6√ 753 = -5.073
Two solutions were found :
x =(-3-√753)/6=-1/2-1/6√ 753 = -5.073
x =(-3+√753)/6=-1/2+1/6√ 753 = 4.073
