I need help on these. i can't understand how to do them, can someone show me how do these.
x2 - 2x -15 = 0
AND
Solve
3x2 - 12 = 0
AND
Show that the equation (2x-1)2 + 9 - 6x2 can be simplified to
5x2 - 2x - 4 = 0
x2 - 2x -15 = 0
AND
Solve
3x2 - 12 = 0
AND
Show that the equation (2x-1)2 + 9 - 6x2 can be simplified to
5x2 - 2x - 4 = 0
-
x^2 - 2x - 15 = 0
We notice that -2 = 3 - 5 and that -15 = 3 * -5, hence:
(x + 3)(x - 5) = 0
---
3x^2 - 12 = 0
We divide both sides by 3 as all coefficients on the left-hand side are multiples of 3:
x^2 - 4 = 0
We add 4 to both sides:
x^2 = 4
We take the square root of both sides and get:
x = √4 = ±2
---
(2x - 1)^2 + 9 - 6x^2 = 0
Expand the brackets:
4x^2 - 4x + 1 + 9 - 6x^2 = 0
Combine the like terms:
-2x^2 - 4x + 10 = 0
Unless you wrote something down incorrectly, the third problem is incorrect, unless I am misunderstanding you.

To factorize the first one, consider its form:
ax^2+bx+c=0
Where, 1x^2-2x-15=0
a=1 b=-2 c=-15
You need to find two numbers that multipy to give ac and add to give -2.
it will be in the form, (x+?)(x+?)=0
The second one you just need to make x the subject,
add 12 to both sides, 3x^2=12
divide 3 from both sides, x^2=4
square root both sides, x=+-2
Remember a square root can be positive or negative.

i know the reason why
