Chapter 10: Q14. (page 603)

Solve the equation.
$2 x^{2} + 7 x 鈭� 5 = 鈭� 1$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solutions of the given equation are $x = 鈭� 4, 鈥� \frac{1}{2}$ .

Step by step solution

Step 1. Define an equation.

In mathematics, an equation is a statement that asserts the equality of two expressions, which are connected by the equal sign $" = "$ .

Step 2. Write the standard form of a quadratic equation.

The standard form of a quadratic equation is given by

$a x^{2} + b x + c = 0$ , where $a 鈮� 0$

Step 3. Solve the equation 2x2+7x−5=−1.

$2 x^{2} + 7 x 鈭� 5 = 鈭� 1 2 x^{2} + 7 x 鈭� 5 + 1 = 0 2 x^{2} + 7 x 鈭� 4 = 0 2 x^{2} + 8 x 鈭� x 鈭� 4 = 0 2 x (x + 4) 鈭� 1 (x + 4) = 0 (x + 4) (2 x 鈭� 1) = 0$

$x + 4 = 0$ or $2 x 鈭� 1 = 0$

$x = 鈭� 4$ or $2 x = 1$

$x = 鈭� 4$ or $x = \frac{1}{2}$

$x = 鈭� 4, 鈥� \frac{1}{2}$

Therefore the solutions of the given equation are $x = 鈭� 4, 鈥� \frac{1}{2}$ .
