Full solution

Q. Solve by completing the square\newline5x2+3x4=0 5 x^{2}+3 x-4=0
  1. Divide by 55: First, divide the equation by 55 to make the coefficient of x2x^2 equal to 11.\newline5x2+3x4=05x^2 + 3x - 4 = 0\newlinex2+(35)x45=0x^2 + \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)x - \frac{4}{5} = 0
  2. Move constant term: Next, move the constant term to the other side of the equation. x2+(35)x=45x^2 + \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)x = \frac{4}{5}
  3. Complete the square: Now, to complete the square, add (b2)2(\frac{b}{2})^2 to both sides, where bb is the coefficient of xx.35/2=310\frac{3}{5}/2 = \frac{3}{10}(310)2=9100\left(\frac{3}{10}\right)^2 = \frac{9}{100}x2+(35)x+9100=45+9100x^2 + \left(\frac{3}{5}\right)x + \frac{9}{100} = \frac{4}{5} + \frac{9}{100}
  4. Add fractions: Find a common denominator and add the fractions on the right side.\newlinex2+35x+9100=80100+9100x^2 + \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{9}{100} = \frac{80}{100} + \frac{9}{100}\newlinex2+35x+9100=89100x^2 + \frac{3}{5}x + \frac{9}{100} = \frac{89}{100}
  5. Write as trinomial: Write the left side as a perfect square trinomial.\newline(x+310)2=89100(x + \frac{3}{10})^2 = \frac{89}{100}
  6. Take square root: Take the square root of both sides.\newlinex+310=±89100x + \frac{3}{10} = \pm\sqrt{\frac{89}{100}}\newlinex+310=±8910x + \frac{3}{10} = \pm\frac{\sqrt{89}}{10}
  7. Subtract 310\frac{3}{10}: Subtract 310\frac{3}{10} from both sides to solve for xx.x=310±8910x = -\frac{3}{10} \pm \frac{\sqrt{89}}{10}
  8. Simplify expression: Simplify the expression. x=3±8910x = \frac{{-3 \pm \sqrt{89}}}{{10}}
