Q. Solve the quadratic by factoring.5x2+1=36x−6Answer: x=
Write Standard Form: Write the quadratic equation in standard form.To solve the quadratic by factoring, we need to have it in the form ax2+bx+c=0. So we will move all terms to one side of the equation.5x2+1=36x−6Subtract 36x and add 6 to both sides to get:5x2−36x+7=0
Move Terms: Factor the quadratic equation.We need to find two numbers that multiply to (5)(7)=35 and add up to −36. However, there are no two integers that satisfy these conditions. Therefore, this quadratic equation cannot be factored using integers. We may need to use the quadratic formula to find the solutions.
