Question

What are the roots of the equation 4x^2+24x+45=0 in simplest a+bi form?

Answer 1

Answer:

X=(-1.5, 7.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

4x2 + -24x + -45 = 0

Reorder the terms:

-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0

Solving

-45 + -24x + 4x2 = 0

Solving for variable 'x'.

Factor a trinomial.

(-3 + -2x)(15 + -2x) = 0

 

Set the factor '(-3 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

-3 + -2x = 0

Solving

-3 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + -2x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + 3

-2x = 0 + 3

Combine like terms: 0 + 3 = 3

-2x = 3

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = -1.5

Simplifying

x = -1.5  

Set the factor '(15 + -2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:

Simplifying

15 + -2x = 0

Solving

15 + -2x = 0

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-15' to each side of the equation.

15 + -15 + -2x = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 15 + -15 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -15

-2x = 0 + -15

Combine like terms: 0 + -15 = -15

-2x = -15

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 7.5

Simplifying

x = 7.5

Solution

x = {-1.5, 7.5}
