Given the inequality: 25x2<49 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: 25x2=49 Solve: Move right part of the equation to left part with negative sign.
The equation is transformed from 25x2=49 to 25x2−49=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=25 b=0 c=−49 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(0)^2 - 4 * (25) * (-49) = 4900
Because D > 0, then the equation has two roots.
x1 = (-b + sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
x2 = (-b - sqrt(D)) / (2*a)
or x1=57 x2=−57 x1=57 x2=−57 x1=57 x2=−57 This roots x2=−57 x1=57 is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression. First define with the sign to the leftmost point: x0<x2 For example, let's take the point x0=x2−101 = −57+−101 = −23 substitute to the expression 25x2<49 25(−23)2<49
225/4 < 49
but
225/4 > 49
Then x<−57 no execute one of the solutions of our inequality is: x>−57∧x<57
