Math Problem Statement

Solve the following quadratic equations: x^2 - 5x + 9 = 0, 4x^2 + 8x - 60 = 0, 2x^2 - 2 - 3x = 0, 36x^2 + 25 = 60x

Solution

I see several quadratic equations in the image you've uploaded. I'll list and solve them one by one.

1. Equation 1:

x25x+9=0x^2 - 5x + 9 = 0

This is a standard quadratic equation, which we can solve using the quadratic formula: x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} where a=1a = 1, b=5b = -5, and c=9c = 9.

Let's calculate this.

2. Equation 2:

4x2+8x60=04x^2 + 8x - 60 = 0 This is also a quadratic equation. Here a=4a = 4, b=8b = 8, and c=60c = -60. We can solve it using the quadratic formula or factoring.

3. Equation 3:

2x223x=02x^2 - 2 - 3x = 0 Rearranging it in standard form: 2x23x2=02x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0 Now, a=2a = 2, b=3b = -3, and c=2c = -2.

4. Equation 4:

36x2+25=60x36x^2 + 25 = 60x Rearranging: 36x260x+25=036x^2 - 60x + 25 = 0 Here a=36a = 36, b=60b = -60, and c=25c = 25.

Let me solve these equations step-by-step using the quadratic formula.Here are the solutions for each equation:

1. x25x+9=0x^2 - 5x + 9 = 0:

This equation has complex solutions: x1=2.5+1.66i,x2=2.51.66ix_1 = 2.5 + 1.66i, \quad x_2 = 2.5 - 1.66i

2. 4x2+8x60=04x^2 + 8x - 60 = 0:

The solutions are: x1=3.0,x2=5.0x_1 = 3.0, \quad x_2 = -5.0

3. 2x23x2=02x^2 - 3x - 2 = 0:

The solutions are: x1=2.0,x2=0.5x_1 = 2.0, \quad x_2 = -0.5

4. 36x260x+25=036x^2 - 60x + 25 = 0:

This equation has one real solution (a repeated root): x1=x2=0.83x_1 = x_2 = 0.83
