Solve the following equation for x and give, in the following case, your answer correct to 2 decimal places:

2x2 – 10x + 5 = 0

योग

उत्तर

Given, 2x2 – 10x + 5 = 0

On comparing it with the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, we get,

a = 2, b = – 10, c = 5

By using formula,

x = `(-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)`

= `-((-10)+- sqrt((-10)^2 - 4 xx 2 xx 5))/(2 xx 2)`

= `(10 +- sqrt(100 - 40))/4`

= `(10 +- 2sqrt(15))/4`

= `(10 +- 2 xx 3.873)/4`

= `(10 +- 7.758)/4`

Then, = `(10 + 7.758)/4 and (10 - 7.758)/4`

= `17.758/4 and 2.242/4`

= 4.4395 and 0.5605

Hence, x = 4.440 and 0.561
