Detmermine the best method to solve the following equation, then solve the equation. (3x-5)^2=-125
liq [111]

For the given equation;

(3x-5)^2=-125

We shall begin by expanding the parenthesis on the left side, after which we would combine all terms on and move all of them to the left side, which shall yield a quadratic equation. Then we shall solve.

Let us begin by expanding the parenthesis;

\begin{gathered} (3x-5)^2\Rightarrow(3x-5)(3x-5) \\ (3x-5)(3x-5)=9x^2-15x-15x+25 \\ (3x-5)^2=9x^2-30x+25 \end{gathered}

Now that we have expanded the left side of the equation, we would have;

\begin{gathered} 9x^2-30x+25=-125 \\ \text{Add 125 to both sides and we'll have;} \\ 9x^2-30x+25+125=-125+125 \\ 9x^2-30x+150=0 \end{gathered}

We shall now solve the resulting quadratic equation using the quadratic formula as follows;

\begin{gathered} x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a} \\ \text{Where;} \\ a=9,b=-30,c=150 \\ x=\frac{-(-30)\pm\sqrt[]{(-30)^2-4(9)(150)}}{2(9)} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{900-5400}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-4500}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900\times5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm\sqrt[]{-900}\times\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ x=\frac{30\pm30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Therefore;} \\ x=\frac{30+30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18},x=\frac{30-30i\sqrt[]{5}}{18} \\ \text{Divide all through by 6, and we'll have;} \\ x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3} \end{gathered}

ANSWER:

x=\frac{5+5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3},x=\frac{5-5i\sqrt[]{5}}{3}

Help, please. I just need an answer, so if anyone is bored, for the love of god please... ​

Answer:B & E

Step-by-step explanation:

We can first rearrange the function to isolate y. Then, we can find the slope as the function is in the form y=mx+b.

3x-4y=7\\-4y=-3x+7\\y=\frac{3}{4}x-\frac{7}{4}

Since parallel lines have the same slope, we can put the slope of 3/4 into the point slope form to get the answer.

<em>For reference, the point-slope form is </em>y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y+2=\frac{3}{4}(x+4)\\y+2=\frac{3}{4}x+3\\y=\frac{3}{4}x+1

The first line is found in option E, so option E is one of the correct options.

We can also move the x to the other side, as two of the 5 options have both variables on the left (B and C).

-\frac{3}{4}x+y=1

If we multiply the whole equation by -4, we can get rid of the fraction.

-4(-\frac{3}{4}x+y)=-4(1)\\3x-4y=-4

Hence, option B is also correct.
