Given the inequality: −4x2+20x>25 To solve this inequality, we must first solve the corresponding equation: −4x2+20x=25 Solve: Move right part of the equation to left part with negative sign.
The equation is transformed from −4x2+20x=25 to (−4x2+20x)−25=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=20 c=−25 , then
D = b^2 - 4 * a * c =
(20)^2 - 4 * (-4) * (-25) = 0
Because D = 0, then the equation has one root.
x = -b/2a = -20/2/(-4)
x1=25 x1=25 x1=25 This roots x1=25 is the points with change the sign of the inequality expression. First define with the sign to the leftmost point: x0<x1 For example, let's take the point x0=x1−101 = −101+25 = 512 substitute to the expression −4x2+20x>25 −4(512)2+512⋅20>25
624
--- > 25
25
Then x<25 no execute the solution of our inequality is: x>25
