To factor the equation ( x^2 - x + 5 = 0 ), we first check the discriminant ( b^2 - 4ac ) where ( a = 1 ), ( b = -1 ), and ( c = 5 ). The discriminant is ( (-1)^2 - 4(1)(5) = 1 - 20 = -19 ), which is negative. This indicates that the equation has no real roots and cannot be factored over the real numbers. However, it can be expressed in terms of complex roots if necessary.

How do you factor the equation 2xsquared plus -5x equals 12?

Write down all the pairs of factors of '2' & '12' Hence 2 = ( 2,1) 12 = ( 1,12) , ( 2, 6), ( 3 ,4) From these pairs we select two sets of factors , one each from '1' & '12' , which multiply and then add to '5' They are ( 2,1) & ) 3.4) Multiply ( 4 x 2) & ( 3 x 1) = 8 & 3 ; 8 - 3 = 5 Opening brackets ( 2x 3)( x 4) ( 2x + 3)( x - 4) Or 2x^(2) - 5x = 12 Algebraically rearrange 2x^(2) - 5x - 12 = 0 It is now in Quadratic Form and can be factored.
