Solve for x: 4x2 + 20ax + 25a2 - 36b2 = 0.

Answer»

4x2 + 20 ax + 25a- 36b2 = 0

⇒ (2x)2 + 2 \(\times\) 2x \(\times\) 5a + (5a)2 = 36b2

⇒ (2x + 5a)2 = (6b)2 (\(\because\) a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2)

⇒ 2x + 5a = 6b or 2x + 5a = -6b

⇒ 2x = 6b - 5a or 2x = -6b - 5a

⇒ x = \(\frac{6b-5a}2\) or x = \(\frac{-6b-5a}2=\frac{-1}2\)(6b + 5a)

Hence, root of the given equation are

\(\frac{6b-5a}2\) or \(\frac{-1}2\) (6b + 5a)
