Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.4d2+5d+1=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.d=_____ or d=_____
Identify values of a, b, c: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation4d2+5d+1=0.The quadratic equation is in the form ad2+bd+c=0, so by comparison:a=4b=5b0
Substitute values into formula: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula to find d. The quadratic formula is d=2a−b±b2−4ac. Substituting the values we get: d=2⋅4−(5)±(5)2−4⋅4⋅1
Simplify expression and denominator: Simplify the expression under the square root and the denominator.d=8−5±25−16d=8−5±9
Simplify square root and find values: Simplify the square root and identify the two possible values for d.9=3d=(8−5±3)So we have two possible solutions:d=(8−5+3) or d=(8−5−3)
Calculate two values for d: Calculate the two values for d. d=8−2 or d=8−8d=−41 or d=−1
Check for rounding: Check if the solutions need to be rounded to the nearest hundredth. Since both solutions are exact values (one is an integer and the other is a proper fraction), no rounding is necessary.
