Given the equation 10x+11=−x 10x+11=−x We raise the equation sides to 2-th degree 10x+11=x2 10x+11=x2 Transfer the right side of the equation left part with negative sign −x2+10x+11=0 This equation is of the form
a*x^2 + b*x + c = 0
A quadratic equation can be solved using the discriminant. The roots of the quadratic equation: x1=2aD−b x2=2a−D−b where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant. Because a=−1 b=10 c=11 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(10)^2 - 4 * (-1) * (11) = 144
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=−1 x2=11
Because 10x+11=−x and 10x+11≥0 then −x≥0 or x≤0 −∞<x The final answer: x1=−1
