solve for x, 2x square +6root 3x - 60=0
Answers
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The first term is, 2x2 its coefficient is 2 .
The middle term is, +3x its coefficient is 3 .
The last term, "the constant", is -60
Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant 2 • -60 = -120
Step-2 : Find two factors of -120 whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is 3 .
-120 + 1 = -119
-60 + 2 = -58
-40 + 3 = -37
-30 + 4 = -26
-24 + 5 = -19
-20 + 6 = -14
-15 + 8 = -7
-12 + 10 = -2
-10 + 12 = 2
-8 + 15 = 7
-6 + 20 = 14
-5 + 24 = 19
-4 + 30 = 26
-3 + 40 = 37
-2 + 60 = 58
-1 + 120 = 119
Observation : No two such factors can be found !!
Conclusion : Trinomial can not be factored
Equation at the end of step

:
2x2 + 3x - 60 = 0
Answer: root3, -2root3
Step-by-step explanation:
For 2x^2+6root3x-60=0, there are no roots. Instead for 2x^2+6root3x-6=0, the solution is,
Divide the equation by 2,
We get x^2+3root3x-3=0,
Splitting the factors we get,
x^2+2root3x+root3x-3=0,
Take x and -root 3 common,
x(x+2root3) -root3(x+2root3) =0
(x-root3) (x+2root3) =0
x-root3=0, x+2root3=0
x=root3, x=-2root3
Hence, the roots are root3, -2root3.
