x = 1.75 or − 0.15
x = 2.12 or − 0.79
x = 1.5 or − 0.34
x = 2.35 or −1.23
Correct answer is B
Using the quadratic formula, we have
\(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a}\)
From the equation \(3x^{2} - 4x - 5 = 0\), a = 3, b = -4 and c = -5.
\(\therefore x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{(-4)^{2} - 4(3)(-5)}}{2(3)}\)
= \(\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{16 + 60}}{6}\)
= \(\frac{4 \pm \sqrt{76}}{6}\)
= \(\frac{4 \pm 8.72}{6}\)
= \(\frac{4 + 8.72}{6} \text{ or } \frac{4 - 8.72}{6}\)
= \(\frac{12.72}{6} \text{ or } \frac{-4.72}{6}\)
\(x = \text{2.12 or -0.79}\)
