1)x�-4x+1=13 In order to factor the right side has to be 0. So, we substract 13 from both sides.
x�-4x+1-13=13-13
x�-4x-12=0 Now we need 2 numbers whose sum is -4 and whose factor is -12. To find them we express 12 in its prime factors. 2*2*3 By grouping these factors in various ways we find that 6(2*3), 2(2)and 2*6=12 Since we need -12 one of these factors has to be negative. -6*2=-12 and -6+2=-4 Now we can express the middle terms as -6x+2x. Therefore, we can complete the factoring as follows:
x�-6x+2x-12=0 Factor by grouping(x from first two terms and 2 from last two terms)
x(x-6)+2(x-6)=0 Factor common binominal factor of (x-6) from both terms.
(x-6)(x+2)=0 For all real numbers: ab=0 if and only if a=0 or b=0
Let's use this technique:
a=0, (x-6)=0 , x=6 ->(6-6)=0
b=0, (x+2)=0 , x=-2 ->(-2+2)=0
The solution set is (-2,6)
Check:
6�-4(6)+1=13
36-24+1=13
13=13
(-2)�-4(-2)+1=13
4-(-8)+1=13
4+8+1=13
13=13
Use this process for all following problems
2)x�+2x+48=15x
x�-13x+48=0
48 expressed in its prime factors: 2*2*2*2*3. The solution to this problem is not factorable since there are no two numbers whose sum is -13 and whose product is 48.
3)5x�+7=52
5x�+7-52=52-52
5x�-45=0 Divide both sides by 5
(5x�-45)/5=0/5
x�-9=0 The difference of two squares {a�-b�= (a-b)(a+b)}
(x-3)(x+3)=0
x-3=0, x=3
x+3=0, x=-3 Solution set is (-3,3)
4)3x�=4-11x
3x�+11x-4=0 (2 numbers whose sum is 11 and whose product is -12(3*-4)
3x�+12x-x-4=0
3x(x+4)-1(x+4)=0
(x+4)(3x-1)=0
x+4=0, x=-4
3x-1=0, x= 1/3 Solution set is (-4,1/3)
5)2x�+4x=6x�
2x�-6x�+4x=0 Divide both sides by 2
x�-3x�+2x=0 Factor out x
x(x�-3x+2)=0
x(x�-2x-x+2)=0
x(x-2)(x-1)=0
x-2=0, x=2
x-1=0, x=1 Solution set is (0,1,2)
6)2x�-4=7x
2x�-7x-4=0
2x�-8x+x-4=0
2x(x-4)+1(x-4)=0
(x-4)(2x+1)=0
x-4=0, x=4
2x+1=0, x= -(1/2) Solution set is (-1/2,4)
I hope this helps
