Question

Consider the quadratic equation below.

4x²5= 3x + 4
Determine the correct set-up for solving the equation using the quadratic formula.
O A.
OB.
O C.
H=
AH=
O D.
H=
H =
-(3) ± √(3)²-4(-4)(1)
2(1)
−(−3) ± √(-3)² − 4(4)(9)
2(4)
-(3)± √(3)¹-4(-4)(-9)
2(-4)
-(-3) ± √(-3)²-4(4)(-9)
2(4)

Answer 1

Option A:

H = 4, A = 5, B = -3, C = -4

-(B) ± √(B²-4AC)

2A

= -(-3) ± √((-3)²-4(4)(-5))

2(5)

= 3 ± √49

10

= 3 ± 7

10

Hence, x = (3 + 7)/10 or x = (3 - 7)/10, i.e. x = 1 or x = -0.4
