Question 412992
I assume the equation is:
{{{4v^2 = 10v - 5}}}<br>
And, yes, you do start by transforming the equation into standard form. To do this you can either:<ul><li>Subtract {{{4v^2}}} from each side of the equation giving you:
{{{0 = -4v^2 + 10v - 5}}}
or</li><li>Subtract 10v and add 5 giving you:
{{{4v^2-10v+5 = 0}}}</li></ul>
Both of these will work. Since having a minus in front of the squared term makes the rest of the problem a little harder, I prefer the second equation over the first.<br>
With either equation the next step is to factor or to use the Quadratic Formula. Since you have already done problems in standard form, I'll leave the rest up to you.
