consider the quadratic equation x^2=4x-5.How many solutions does the equation have?
Question
Answer:
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
2 (complex) solutions x = 2 + i and x 2 - iDiscussion: Rewrite x^2 = 4x - 5 as x^2 -4x + 5 = 0The solutions from the quadratic formula arex = ( -(-4) +\- sqrt ( (-4)^2 - 4 (1)(5)) ) /2x = ( 4 +\- sqrt(16-20)) )/2x = ( 4 +\- sqrt(-4) ) /2x = (4 +\- 2i) /2x = 2 +\- i
Thank you, MrB
