3x2 + 4x - 15 = 0, solve by using the quadratic formula.
a = 3, b = 4, c = -15
x = [-b ± √(b2 - 4ac)]/(2a)
x = [-4 ± √(42 - 4*3*-15)]/(2*3) = [-4 ± √(16 + 180)]/6 = (-4 ± √(196)/6 = (-4 ± 17)/6
x = (-4 +17)/6 = 13/6 or x = (-4 - 17)/6 = -21/6 = -7/2
The solution set: {-7/2, 13/6}.
It is: x = 5/3 and x = -3
They are: x = 5/3 and x = -3
x = 0 or x = 2
3x2-4x-15 = 0 (3x+5)(x-3) = 0 x = -5/3 or x = 3
the empty set.
No.
(0, -14)
The solution: x = 6/7 and x = -1
Solution: x = 1/4 and x = -3.
Set the equation equal to zero. 3x2 - x = -1 3x2 - x + 1 = 0 The equation is quadratic, but can not be factored. Use the quadratic equation.
{-1,7}
6x = 1 x = 1/6
