x^2+x-30=0 equation
The teacher will be very surprised to see your correct solution 😉
The solution
Detail solution
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:
$$x_{1} = \frac{\sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
$$x_{2} = \frac{- \sqrt{D} - b}{2 a}$$
where D = b^2 - 4*a*c - it is the discriminant.
Because
$$a = 1$$
$$b = 1$$
$$c = -30$$
, then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(1)^2 - 4 * (1) * (-30) = 121
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or
$$x_{1} = 5$$
$$x_{2} = -6$$
Vieta's Theorem
it is reduced quadratic equation
$$p x + q + x^{2} = 0$$
where
$$p = \frac{b}{a}$$
$$p = 1$$
$$q = \frac{c}{a}$$
$$q = -30$$
Vieta Formulas
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = - p$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = q$$
$$x_{1} + x_{2} = -1$$
$$x_{1} x_{2} = -30$$
$$x_{1} = -6$$
$$x_{2} = 5$$
