5v squared - 6v + 1 = 0 solve using the quadratic formula
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
According to the Quadratic Formula, v , the solution for Av^2+Bv+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :
- B ± √ B^2-4AC
v = ————————
2A
In our case, A = 5
B = -6
C = 1
Accordingly, B^2 - 4AC
= 36 - 20
= 16
Applying the quadratic formula :
6 ± √ 16
v = —————
10
The prime factorization of 16 is
2×2×2×2
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it (because we are taking a square i.e. second root).
√ 16 = √ 2×2×2×2
=2×2×√ 1
= ± 4 • √ 1
= ± 4
So now we are looking at:
v = ( 6 ± 4) / 10
Two real solutions:
v =(6+√16)/10=(3+2)/5= 1
or:
v =(6-√16)/10=(3-2)/5= 0.200
Hence,
Two solutions were found :
- v = 1/5 = 0.200
- v = 1
