Answers
Answer:
Refer to the attachment for the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
4x2 + 28x + 13 = 0
Reorder the terms:
13 + 28x + 4x2 = 0
Solving
13 + 28x + 4x2 = 0
Solving for variable 'x'.
Factor a trinomial.
(13 + 2x)(1 + 2x) = 0
Subproblem 1
Set the factor '(13 + 2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
13 + 2x = 0
Solving
13 + 2x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-13' to each side of the equation.
13 + -13 + 2x = 0 + -13
Combine like terms: 13 + -13 = 0
0 + 2x = 0 + -13
2x = 0 + -13
Combine like terms: 0 + -13 = -13
2x = -13
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -6.5
Simplifying
x = -6.5
Subproblem 2
Set the factor '(1 + 2x)' equal to zero and attempt to solve:
Simplifying
1 + 2x = 0
Solving
1 + 2x = 0
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-1' to each side of the equation.
1 + -1 + 2x = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 1 + -1 = 0
0 + 2x = 0 + -1
2x = 0 + -1
Combine like terms: 0 + -1 = -1
2x = -1
Divide each side by '2'.
x = -0.5
Simplifying
x = -0.5
Solution
x = {-6.5, -0.5}
