Question

One solution of the equation 2 x^2 - x - 10 = 0 is 5/2 . What is the other solution?

Answer 1

the product of the solutions is the constant term...[HINT]

Answer 2

wait what?

Answer 3

do you know what is the constant term in your equation is?

Answer 4

the constant term is the "c" in \(\large ax^2+bx+c=0 \)

Answer 5

ohhhh
thanks

Answer 6

yw...:)

Answer 7

so do you have the other solution?

Answer 8

no

Answer 9

Try a -2 for the x value and see what it is equal to.

Answer 10

\[2(-2^{2})- (-2) -10=0\]
8 + 2 -10 =0
0=0
What does that tell you.

Answer 11

Earlier it was mentioned that the solution was a product of the constant C
2(5/2) times what equals -10
5x=-10
x=-10/5=-2
