Find the roots of the quadratic equations by using the quadratic formula in each of the following `-3x^(2)+5x+12=0` |
|
Answer» Given equation is `-3x^(2)+5x+12=0` On comparing with `ax^(2)+bx+c=0` we get `a=-3, b=5` and `c=12` By quadratic formula `x=(-b+-sqrt(b^(2)-4ac))/(2a)` `(-(5)+-sqrt((5)^(2)-4(-3)(12)))/(2(-3))` `=(5+-sqrt(25+144))/(-6)=(-5+-sqrt(169))/(-6)` `=(-5-13)/(-6)=8/(-6), (-18)/(-6)=-4/3,3` So `-4/3` and 3 are two roots of the given equation. |
