Question 50
Quadratic EquationsSolve: 6x2 = 5x − 1.
- A.x = 2, 3
- B.x = 0, 3
- C.x = 1/2, 1/3
- D.x = 1/2, −1/3
Show the answer and explanation
Answer: C (x = 1/2, 1/3)
Explanation
6x2 − 5x + 1 = 0 factorises as (3x − 1)(2x − 1) = 0, so x = 1/3 or 1/2.
Solve: 6x2 = 5x − 1.
Answer: C (x = 1/2, 1/3)
6x2 − 5x + 1 = 0 factorises as (3x − 1)(2x − 1) = 0, so x = 1/3 or 1/2.
