Determine the type and number of solution the following equa
Determine the type and number of solution the following equation have 2x^2-1/3x+1/5=0 1/6x^2+4x+7=0
Solution
a) 2x^2 -x/3 1x/5 =0
Mulitply the equation 15
30x^2 -5x +3 =0
Solve by using quadratice formula:
x = (-b +/- sqrt(b^2 -4ac)/2a
= ( 5+ /- sqrt( 25 -4*3*30)/60
= (5+/- isqrt335)/60
So, there are two solutions and both are complx roots
b) x^2/6 + 4x +7 =0
Multiply by 6 we get
x^2 +24x +42 =0
Using quadratic root formula:
x =(-b +/- sqrt(b^2 -4ac)/2a
= ( -24 + /- sqrt( 24^2 -4*42)/2
=( -24 + /- sqrt408)/2
So, there are two solutions and both are real roots
