2.3 Solving x2+70x-52 = 0 by the Quadratic Formula .
According to the Quadratic Formula, x , the solution for Ax2+Bx+C = 0 , where A, B and C are numbers, often called coefficients, is given by :
- B ± √ B2-4AC
x = ————————
2A
In our case, A = 1
B = 70
C = -52
Accordingly, B2 - 4AC =
4900 - (-208) =
5108
Applying the quadratic formula :
-70 ± √ 5108
x = ———————
2
Can √ 5108 be simplified ?
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2+(34-x)^2=(26)^2
=>x^2+1156-68x+x^2=676
=>2x^2-68x+1156-676=0
=>2x^2-68x+480=0
=>2(x^2-34x+240)=0
=>x^2-34x+240=0
=>x^2-24x-10x+240=0
=>x(x-24)-10(x-24)=0
=>(x-24)(x-10)=0
x-24=0 x-10=0
=>x=24 =>x=10
