Add 3 to both sides so that the equation becomes -2x^2 + 5x + 5 = 0.
To find the solutions to this equation, we can apply the quadratic formula. This quadratic formula solves equations of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0
x = [ -b ± √(b^2 - 4ac) ] / (2a)
x = [ -5 ± √(5^2 - 4(-2)(5)) ] / ( 2(-2) )
x = [-5 ± √(25 - (-40) ) ] / ( -4 )
x = [-5 ± √(65) ] / ( -4)
x = [-5 ± sqrt(65) ] / ( -4 )
x = 5/4 ± -sqrt(65)/4
The answers are 5/4 + sqrt(65)/4 and 5/4 - sqrt(65)/4..
Answer:
Place the compass at one end of line segment.
Adjust the compass to slightly longer than half the line segment length.
Draw arcs above and below the line.
Keeping the same compass width, draw arcs from other end of line.
Place ruler where the arcs cross, and draw the line segment.
Answer:
cross multiply and they should equal the same
