Question

find the roots of the quadratic equation 2x2-x+1/8=0 by factorisation

Answer 1

2x²-x+(1/8)=0 ,

[L.C.M=8], 16x²-8x+1=0 ,

16x²-4x-4x+1=0 ,

4x[4x-1]-1[4x-1]=0 ,

[4x-1][4x-1]=0 ,

[4x-1]²=0 ,

Take √ 4x-1=0 ,

4x=1 and X=1/4.

In mathematics, factorization consists of writing a number or other objects as a product of several factors.

This normally considers smaller or simpler objects of the same kind and evaluates it.
