Solve Quadratic Equations by Factoring

In the following exercises, solve.

4b2+7b=-3

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution isb=-34,-1.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information  

We are given the quadratic equation4b2+7b=-3 and we need to solve it by factoring.

02

Step 2. Solving the quadratic  

Writing the quadratic equation in standard form:

4b2+7b=-3⇒4b2+7b+3=0

Factoring the quadratic we get,

localid="1647785929270" 4b2+7b+3=0⇒4b2+4b+3b+3=0⇒4b(b+1)+3(b+1)=0⇒4b+3b+1

Use the Zero Product Property to set each factor to 0,

4b+3=0⇒4b=-3⇒b=-34b+1=0⇒b=-1

03

Step 3. Checking the answers  

Substituting each solution separately into the original equation:

b=-344b2+7b=-3⇒4-342+7-34=-3⇒4×916-214-3⇒94-214=-3⇒-124=-3⇒-3=-3b=-1,4b2+7b=-3⇒4-12+7-1=-3⇒4-7=-3⇒-3=-3
