Quadratic Functions...
The problem is 4x(Squared) + 15(x) / 4 = 1
How do I turn it into a equation where I can factor?
Can someone help? I know I have to do something like multiply both sides by 4, but I forgot.
If (4x^2 + 15x)/4 = 1, then
4x^2 + 15x - 4 = 0
(4x-1)(x+4) = 0
To turn the given equation into an equation suitable for factoring, you first need to clear the fraction. Here's how you can do it step by step:
1. Begin with the equation: 4x^2 + 15x/4 = 1
2. Multiply every term in the equation by 4 to eliminate the fraction. This gives you: 4 * (4x^2 + 15x/4) = 4 * 1
Simplifying both sides, you get: 16x^2 + 15x = 4
Now the equation is in a form suitable for factoring.
