Solve quadratic equation x^2-45x+324
Answers
hi mate,
Factoring x²-45x+324
x² - 36x - 9x - 324
Step-1 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :
x • (x-36)
Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :
9 • (x-36)
Step-2 : Add up the four terms of step 1 :
(x-9) • (x-36)
Which is the desired factorization
Final result :
(x - 9) • (x - 36)
take
x-9 = 0 and x -36 = 0
x = 9 and x = 36 are the roots of equation..
i hope it helps you.
Given
x²- 45x + 324
To Find
The roots of the quadratic equation
Solution
To find the roots of this quadratic equation we will start by factorizing the equation.
We will find two numbers whose product is 324.
The two numbers must also be such that the sum of both these numbers is negative 45.
When we use the factorizing method and factorize the number 324 we find the numbers 36 and 9 that suit our given situation.
Their sum is 45 and the product is 324.
x²- 45x + 324
x² - 36x - 9x + 324
Now let us group the first and later part of the equation
(x² - 36x) + (- 9x + 324)
Taking out the common multiples
x (x-36) - 9(x-36)
Again, taking out the common multiples
(x-36) x - 9
(x-36) (x-9)
Solving this equation we get
x-9 = 0
x = 9
and
x -36 = 0
x = 36
Therefore, 9 and 36 are the roots of equation.
