Question
Solve the following equation by factorization
`sqrt(3)x^2 + 10x + 7sqrt(3)` = 0
Advertisements
Solution
`sqrt(3)x^2 + 10x + 7sqrt(3)` = 0
[∵ `sqrt(3) xx 7sqrt(3) = 7 xx 3 = 21]`
⇒ `sqrt(3)x(x + sqrt(3) + 7(x + sqrt(3)` = 0
⇒ `(x + sqrt(3)) (sqrt(3)x + 7)` = 0
Either `x + sqrt(3)` = 0,
then x = `-sqrt(3)`
or
`sqrt(3)x + 7` = 0
then `sqrt(3)x` = -7
⇒ x = `(-7)/(sqrt(3)`
⇒ x = `(-7 xx sqrt(3))/(sqrt(3) xx sqrt(3)`
= `(-7 sqrt(3))/(3)`
Hence x = `-sqrt(3), -(7sqrt(3))/(3)`.
