Answer:

Put the equation in standard form by bringing the 4x + 1 to the left side.

7x2 - 4x - 1 = 0

We use the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. The discriminant is the expression underneath the radical in the quadratic formula: b2 - 4ac.

b2 - 4ac In this case, a = 7, b = -4, and c = -1

(-4)2 - 4(7)(-1)

16 + 28 = 44

Now here are the rules for determining the nature of the roots:

(1) If the discriminant = 0, then there is one real root (this omits the ± from the quadratic formula, leaving only one possible solution)

(2) If the discriminant > 0, then there are two real roots (this keeps the ±, giving you two solutions)

(3) If the discriminant < 0, then there are two imaginary roots (this means there is a negative under the radical, making the solutions imaginary)

44 > 0, so there are two real roots

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

θ = 2π/3 or 5π/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2 cosθ + 1= 0

when  + 1 goes to R H S Side than it becomes negative by transposition   method

2 cos = -1

now by dividing by 2 both sides we get

cosθ  =  -\frac{1}{2}

since cosθ is negative

Cosθ = - cos 60°

it means either cosθ lies in 2nd or third quadrant

θ = π - π/3

or

θ = 2π- π/3

so θ = 2π/3 or 5π/3
