We replace according to the formula:

-0 ± √(0²-4*1*9)

           2

 

We will focus on the part inside the square root (also called delta)

√(0-4*1*9)

√(0-36)

√-36

 

It is not possible to take the square root of a negative number.

And so the question has no solution.

Exercise #2

x2+5x+10=0 x^2+5x+10=0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Calculate the discriminant of the quadratic equation.
  • Step 2: Use the discriminant to determine the number and type of solutions.

Step 1: Calculate the discriminant using the formula:

Δ=b24ac=524×1×10=2540=15 \Delta = b^2 - 4ac = 5^2 - 4 \times 1 \times 10 = 25 - 40 = -15 .

Step 2: Analyze the discriminant:

  • Since the discriminant (Δ \Delta ) is negative (15-15), this indicates that the quadratic equation has no real solutions.

Therefore, the final solution is that the equation x2+5x+10=0 x^2 + 5x + 10 = 0 has no solution.

Comparing this with the given answer choices, the correct choice is:

Choice 3: No solution

Exercise #3

5x22x8=0 -5x^2-2x-8=0

Solve the equation

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

Let's solve the quadratic equation 5x22x8=0-5x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0 using the quadratic formula:

First, identify the coefficients: a=5a = -5, b=2b = -2, and c=8c = -8.

The quadratic formula is given by:

x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

We start by calculating the discriminant, D=b24acD = b^2 - 4ac:

D=(2)24(5)(8)D = (-2)^2 - 4 \cdot (-5) \cdot (-8)

D=4160D = 4 - 160

D=156D = -156

Since the discriminant D=156D = -156 is less than zero, this indicates that there are no real solutions for the quadratic equation 5x22x8=0-5x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0.

Therefore, the equation has no solution in terms of real numbers.

Answer

No solution

Exercise #4

Solve the equation

3x29x+12=0 3x^2-9x+12=0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the coefficients a=3 a = 3 , b=9 b = -9 , c=12 c = 12 .
  • Step 2: Compute the discriminant Δ=b24ac \Delta = b^2 - 4ac .
  • Step 3: Determine if real solutions exist based on the discriminant.
  • Step 4: Solve using the Quadratic Formula if applicable.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 2: Calculate the discriminant:

Δ=(9)24×3×12 \Delta = (-9)^2 - 4 \times 3 \times 12

Δ=81144=63 \Delta = 81 - 144 = -63

Step 3: Since the discriminant Δ \Delta is negative (63-63), this means there are no real solutions for the quadratic equation. A negative discriminant indicates that the solutions are complex (i.e., non-real), so the equation has no real solution.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is No solution.

Exercise #5

Solve the following equation:

6x2+12x14=0 -6x^2+12x-14=0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the quadratic equation 6x2+12x14=0-6x^2 + 12x - 14 = 0, we'll use the quadratic formula:

The quadratic formula is x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.

Let's calculate step by step:

  • Identify the coefficients: Here, a=6a = -6, b=12b = 12, and c=14c = -14.
  • Compute the discriminant: b24ac=1224(6)(14)=144336=192b^2 - 4ac = 12^2 - 4(-6)(-14) = 144 - 336 = -192.
  • Assess the discriminant: The discriminant is 192-192, which is less than zero.
  • Since the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions to the equation.

Therefore, the correct answer to the problem is "No solution."

Exercise #6

Solve the following equation:

x2+3x+7=0 x^2+3x+7=0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the quadratic equation x2+3x+7=0x^2 + 3x + 7 = 0, we will use the quadratic formula:

  • Quadratic formula: x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.
  • Identify the coefficients: a=1a = 1, b=3b = 3, c=7c = 7.
  • Calculate the discriminant: D=b24ac=324(1)(7)=928=19D = b^2 - 4ac = 3^2 - 4(1)(7) = 9 - 28 = -19.

The discriminant D=19D = -19 is negative. This indicates that there are no real roots to the equation. Quadratic equations with negative discriminants have complex solutions.

Therefore, the given quadratic equation x2+3x+7=0x^2 + 3x + 7 = 0 has no solutions in the real number system, and we conclude that:

No solution.

Exercise #7

Solve the following equation:

x22x+8=0 x^2-2x+8=0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the quadratic equation x22x+8=0 x^2 - 2x + 8 = 0 , we'll apply the quadratic formula method. The process is as follows:

  • Step 1: Identify the coefficients from the equation: a=1 a = 1 , b=2 b = -2 , c=8 c = 8 .
  • Step 2: Calculate the discriminant using the formula Δ=b24ac \Delta = b^2 - 4ac .
  • Step 3: For the given equation, calculate Δ=(2)24(1)(8)=432=28 \Delta = (-2)^2 - 4(1)(8) = 4 - 32 = -28 .
  • Step 4: Interpret the discriminant. Since Δ=28 \Delta = -28 is negative, this indicates there are no real solutions to the equation.

Without real roots, the equation has complex solutions. Since the problem requires real solutions, we conclude:

The equation x22x+8=0 x^2 - 2x + 8 = 0 has no real solution.

Exercise #8

Solve the following equation:

2x23x+5=0 2x^2-3x+5=0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

The following is a quadratic equation:

2x23x+5=0 2x^2-3x+5=0

This is due to the fact that there is a quadratic term (meaning raised to the second power),

The first step in solving a quadratic equation is always arranging it in a form where all terms on one side are ordered from highest to lowest power (in descending order from left to right) and 0 on the other side,

Then we can choose whether to solve it using the quadratic formula or by factoring/completing the square.

The equation in the problem is already arranged, so let's proceed to solve it using the quadratic formula,

Remember:

The rule states that the roots of an equation in the form:

ax2+bx+c=0 ax^2+bx+c=0

are:

x1,2=b±b24ac2a x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

(meaning its solutions, the two possible values of the unknown for which we get a true statement when substituted in the equation)

This formula is called: "The Quadratic Formula"

Let's return to the problem:

2x23x+5=0 2x^2-3x+5=0 and solve it:

First, let's identify the coefficients of the terms:

{a=2b=3c=5 \begin{cases}a=2 \\ b=-3 \\ c=5\end{cases}

where we noted that the coefficient includes the minus sign, and this is because in the general form of the equation we mentioned earlier:

ax2+bx+c=0 ax^2+bx+c=0

the coefficients are defined such that they have a plus sign in front of them, and therefore the minus sign must be included in the coefficient value.

Let's continue and obtain the equation's solutions (roots) by substituting the coefficients we noted earlier in the quadratic formula:

x1,2=b±b24ac2a=(3)±(3)242522 x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2-4\cdot2\cdot5}}{2\cdot2}

Let's continue and calculate the expression under the root and simplify the expression:

x1,2=3±312 x_{1,2}=\frac{3\pm\sqrt{-31}}{2}\frac{}{}

The expression under the root is negative, and since we cannot extract a real root from a negative number, this equation has no real solutions,

Meaning - there is no real value of x x that when substituted in the equation will give a true statement.

Therefore, the correct answer is answer D.

Exercise #9

Solve the following equation:

x2+6x10=0 -x^2+6x-10=0

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

This is a quadratic equation:

x2+6x10=0 -x^2+6x-10=0

due to the fact that there is a quadratic term present(meaning raised to the second power),

The first step in solving a quadratic equation is always arranging it in a form where all terms on one side are ordered from highest to lowest power (in descending order from left to right) and 0 on the other side,

Then we can choose whether to solve it using the quadratic formula or by factoring/completing the square.

The equation in the problem is already arranged, so let's proceed with the solving technique:

For ease of solving and minimizing errors, it is always recommended to ensure that the coefficient of the quadratic term in the equation is positive,

We'll achieve this by multiplying (both sides of) the equation by:1 -1 :

x2+6x10=0/(1)x26x+10=0 -x^2+6x-10=0 \hspace{8pt}\text{/}\cdot(-1)\\ x^2-6x+10=0

Let's continue solving the equation

Solve it using the quadratic formula,

Remember:

The rule states that the roots of an equation of the form:

ax2+bx+c=0 ax^2+bx+c=0

are:

x1,2=b±b24ac2a x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

(meaning its solutions, the two possible values of the unknown for which we get a true statement when substituted in the equation)

This formula is called: "The Quadratic Formula"

Let's return to the problem:

x26x+10=0 x^2-6x+10=0

and solve it:

First, let's identify the coefficients of the terms:

{a=1b=6c=10 \begin{cases}a=1 \\ b=-6 \\ c=10\end{cases}

where we noted that the coefficient of the quadratic term is 1,

We obtain the equation's solutions (roots) by substituting these coefficients that we mentioned earlier in the quadratic formula:

x1,2=b±b24ac2a=(6)±(6)2411021 x_{1,2}=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}=\frac{-(-6)\pm\sqrt{(-6)^2-4\cdot1\cdot10}}{2\cdot1}

Let's continue and calculate the expression under the root and simplify the expression:

x1,2=6±42 x_{1,2}=\frac{6\pm\sqrt{-4}}{2}

The expression under the root is negative, and since we cannot extract a real root from a negative number, this equation has no real solutions,

Meaning - there is no real value of x x that when substituted in the equation will give a true statement.

Therefore, the correct answer is answer D.

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the quadratic equation 2x25x9=0 -2x^2 - 5x - 9 = 0 , we follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify coefficients a=2a = -2, b=5b = -5, c=9c = -9.
  • Step 2: Compute the discriminant, b24acb^2 - 4ac.
  • Step 3: Analyze the discriminant's value to determine the nature of the roots.

Step 1: We have a=2a = -2, b=5b = -5, c=9c = -9.

Step 2: Calculate the discriminant:
b24ac=(5)24(2)(9)=2572=47b^2 - 4ac = (-5)^2 - 4(-2)(-9) = 25 - 72 = -47.

Step 3: Since the discriminant value is 47-47, which is less than zero, this indicates that there are no real solutions because the square root of a negative number is imaginary.

Therefore, since there are no real solutions, we conclude that the problem has no real solutions.

Thus, the solution to the equation is No solution.

Step 1: Identify the coefficients for the equation ax2+bx+c=0 ax^2 + bx + c = 0 :
a=5 a = 5
b=1.5 b = 1.5
c=1 c = 1

Step 2: Calculate the discriminant Δ=b24ac \Delta = b^2 - 4ac .
Δ=(1.5)2451=2.2520=17.75\Delta = (1.5)^2 - 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 1 = 2.25 - 20 = -17.75

Step 3: Analyze the discriminant:
Since the discriminant Δ=17.75\Delta = -17.75 is negative, this indicates that there are no real solutions to the equation 5x2+1.5x+1=0 5x^2 + 1.5x + 1 = 0 .
