Question 323969: I'm having a lot of trouble with a question on one of my Algebra two assignments and was wonder if could get some help with it.
10. -57 3/5 x2 + 3 3/5 x = -39 3/5 x2 - 7 1/5 x + 14 2/5
A x = {2 +- i[SQRT(75)}/10
B x = {3 +- i[SQRT(71)]}/-10
C x = {-3 +- i[SQRT(57)]}/7
D x = {-3 +- i[SQRT(71)]}/-10
E x = {-2 +- i[SQRT(75)]}/-7
F x = {2 +- i[SQRT(39)]}/14

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated
Thanks you

-57 3/5 x2 + 3 3/5 x = -39 3/5 x2 - 7 1/5 x + 14 2/5
Multiply by 5
-288x%5E2+%2B+18x+=+-198x%5E2+-+36x+%2B+72
Divide by 18
-16x%5E2+%2B+x+=+-11x%5E2+-+2x+%2B+4
5x%5E2+-+3x+%2B+4+=+0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 5x%5E2%2B-3x%2B4+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%28-3%29%5E2-4%2A5%2A4=-71.

The discriminant -71 is less than zero. That means that there are no solutions among real numbers.

If you are a student of advanced school algebra and are aware about imaginary numbers, read on.


In the field of imaginary numbers, the square root of -71 is + or - sqrt%28+71%29+=+8.42614977317636.

The solution is , or
Here's your graph:

Looks like it's D, but the 2 minus signs can be eliminated.
