Move right part of the equation to left part with negative sign.
The equation is transformed from (4x2+25x)−3=9x+17 to (−9x−17)+((4x2+25x)−3)=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=4 b=16 c=−20 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(16)^2 - 4 * (4) * (-20) = 576
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=−5
