r^2-22r+21+0
you mean r^2-22r+21=0
yes
or r^2-22r+121=0 ?
the first one you suggested
ok so find the factors of 21 \[\pm1,\pm3,\pm7,\pm21\] which of these add to -22 ?
-1,-21?
right,
r^2-22r+21+0 r^2-22r+21 a = 1, b = -22, c = 21; r = (-b +- sqrt(b^2 -4ac))/2a r = (-(-22) +- sqrt(484- (-84)))/2 r = (22 +- sqrt(568))/2 for (+) r = (22+ 23.8)/2 = 22.9 for (-) r=(22 - 23.8)/2 = -0.9
(r-1)(r-21) ?
yes
(r-1)(r-21) where r =1 or 21
to check , expand the brackets (r-1)(r-21)= r(r-21)-1(r-21) = r^2-21r-r+21 = r^2-22r+21
good
thank you very much! both of you! i think i actually get it now
ok ur welcome., friend, follow my twitter ok @gerryphysicist
gerryliyana you mean r = (-(-22) +- sqrt(484- 84))/2
yes @UnkleRhaukus .., hehe I am wrong count before
\[r = \frac{-(-22) \pm \sqrt{484- 84}}2\] \[\quad= \frac{22 \pm \sqrt{400}}2\]\[\quad= \frac{22 \pm 20}2\]\[\quad=11 \pm 10\]\[r_{1,2}=21,1\]
