Question
Find the solution sets.
4x^2 - 25 = 0

Answer.





This can be written as .....

, which is of the form,


We know that can be written as,
= (a + b) ( a - b)

Similarly

==> (2x + 5)( 2x - 5 ) = 0

==> either (2x + 5) = 0 or ( 2x - 5 ) = 0


==> 2x + 5 = 0
Subtract 5 from both sides.....

==> 2x - 5 - 5 = 0 - 5

==> 2x = -5

Divide both sides by 2

==>


==>

Now suppose 2x-5 = 0

Add 5 on both sides....


2x - 5 + 5 = 0 + 5




==> 2x = 5


Divide both sides by 2


==>


==>


So the solution set is = { 2.5, -2.5 }



Hope you found the explanation useful.
