Q. 1111) Use the Quadratic Formula to determine the solution(s) to 0=2x23x5 0=2 x^{2}-3 x-5 .
  1. Identify coefficients: Identify coefficients aa, bb, and cc in the equation 2x23x5=02x^2 - 3x - 5 = 0.a=2a = 2, b=3b = -3, c=5c = -5
  2. Substitute into Quadratic Formula: Substitute aa, bb, and cc into the Quadratic Formula: x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}.\newlinex=(3)±(3)242(5)22x = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4\cdot2\cdot(-5)}}{2\cdot2}
  3. Simplify terms and constants: Simplify the terms inside the square root and the constants outside. x=3±9+404x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 + 40}}{4}
  4. Add numbers under square root: Add the numbers under the square root. x=3±494x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{49}}{4}
  5. Take square root of 4949: Take the square root of 4949.x=3±74x = \frac{3 \pm 7}{4}
  6. Split into two solutions: Split into two separate solutions for the ±\pm. \newlinex=(3+7)/4x = (3 + 7) / 4 and x=(37)/4x = (3 - 7) / 4
  7. Simplify both solutions: Simplify both solutions.\newlinex=104x = \frac{10}{4} and x=44x = \frac{-4}{4}\newlinex=2.5x = 2.5 and x=1x = -1
