The solution set for 6a^2-a-5=0

Mathematics
1 answer:
Alex_Xolod [135]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

a=1 or a=5/6

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm going to attempt to factor 6a^2-a-5

a=6

b=-1

c=-5

Find two numbers that multiply to be a*c and add to be b.

a*c=-30                                   =-6(5)

b=-1                                          =-6+5

So replace -a with -6a+5a in the expression we started with

6a^2-6a+5a-5

now we factor by grouping

6a(a-1)+5(a-1)

(a-1)(6a-5)

Now let's solve the equation:

(a-1)(6a-5)=0

So a=1 or a=5/6
