-4x2 + 5x + 6 = 0
Multiply through by -1: 4x2 - 5x - 6 = 0 (I prefer the leading coefficient to be >0)
4x2 - 8x + 3x - 6 = 0
4x(x - 2) + 3(x - 2) = 0
(x - 2)(4x + 3) = 0
So x - 2 = 0 or 4x + 3 = 0
ie x = 2 or x = -3/4
4x2+50x = 0 4x(x+12.5) = 0 x = 0 or x = -12.5
The discriminant for the quadratic is b2-4ac = 302 - 4*4*45 = 900 - 720 = 180 Since 180 is not a perfect square, the roots of the equation are irrational and it is far from straightforward to solve such an equation by factoring.
4x2 plus 3=11
If you can't factor it easily, use the quadratic formula.
4x2 - 13 x + 3 = 0 (4x - 1)(x - 3) = 0 x = 3, 1/4
4x2 = -12x, divide both sides by 4x: x = -3
4x2+50x = 0 4x(x+12.5) = 0 x = 0 or x = -12.5
The discriminant for the quadratic is b2-4ac = 302 - 4*4*45 = 900 - 720 = 180 Since 180 is not a perfect square, the roots of the equation are irrational and it is far from straightforward to solve such an equation by factoring.
4x2 plus 3=11
If you can't factor it easily, use the quadratic formula.
First you need to solve for y. So write 4x2+y=16 so y=16-4x2 Now write f(x)=16-4x2
y=4x2+3x+8
4x2 - 13 x + 3 = 0 (4x - 1)(x - 3) = 0 x = 3, 1/4
x3 + 4x2 + 6x + 24 = (x2 + 6)(x + 4)
4x2+49x+90 = (4x+9)(x+10) when factored
There are four solutions to 9x4 plus 27x3 - 4x2 - 12x equals 0. One of the solutions is x = -3.
(4x - 32)(x - 2) so x = 2 or 8
