Solve for the roots in simplest form using the quadratic formula:
4x^2+73=36x
To solve for the roots in simplest form using the quadratic formula, we first need to rewrite the equation in the standard form of a quadratic equation: ax^2 + bx + c = 0.
Given equation: 4x^2 + 73 = 36x
Rearranging the terms, we get: 4x^2 - 36x + 73 = 0
Now we can identify the values of a, b, and c:
a = 4
b = -36
c = 73
Next, we substitute these values into the quadratic formula:
x = (-(-36) ± √((-36)^2 - 4*4*73)) / (2*4)
x = (36 ± √(1296 - 116)) / 8
x = (36 ± √1180) / 8
x = (36 ± 2√295) / 8
x = 4.5 ± 0.5√295
Therefore, the roots in simplest form are:
x = 4.5 + 0.5√295
x = 4.5 - 0.5√295
the answer is wrong
Let's check the calculations again.
Using the quadratic formula:
x = [ -(-36) ± √((-36)^2 - 4*4*73) ] / 2*4
x = [ 36 ± √(1296 - 116) ] / 8
x = [ 36 ± √(1180) ] / 8
x = [ 36 ± 2√295] / 8
x = (36 ± 2√295) / 8
x = 4.5 ± 0.5√295
Therefore, the roots in simplest form are:
x = 4.5 + 0.5√295
x = 4.5 - 0.5√295
Apologies for the confusion in the previous response. Thank you for pointing it out.
