Write Equation: Write down the given quadratic equation.The given equation is 5+4x−x2=0. We need to find the values of x that satisfy this equation.
Standard Form: Rearrange the equation in standard quadratic form.To solve the quadratic equation, we need to write it in the form ax2+bx+c=0. In this case, we need to rearrange the terms to get −x2+4x+5=0.
Multiply by −1: Multiply the entire equation by −1 to make the x2 term positive.Multiplying by −1, we get x2−4x−5=0. This is now in standard form.
Factor Equation: Factor the quadratic equation.We need to find two numbers that multiply to −5 and add up to −4. The numbers that satisfy these conditions are −5 and 1. So we can factor the equation as (x−5)(x+1)=0.
Set Equal and Solve: Set each factor equal to zero and solve for x. Setting each factor equal to zero gives us two equations: x−5=0 and x+1=0. Solving these equations gives us x=5 and x=−1.
