help solving this quadratic >.>

OpenStudy (hba):

Sure.

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE \sqrt{\frac{\lambda}{2} + \frac{1-\lambda }{2}+5}=5\]

OpenStudy (hba):

1) squaring both sides

hartnn (hartnn):

lamda/2 gets cancelled :P no lamda in the equation no solution

hartnn (hartnn):

because sqrt{1/2+5} can never =5

OpenStudy (hba):

Yeah lol :P

OpenStudy (dls):

dahell

OpenStudy (dls):

oh sorry guys :P

OpenStudy (nincompoop):

http://bit.ly/UlJTI6 have fun

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE \sqrt{\frac{\lambda^2}{2^2} + \frac{(1-\lambda )^2}{2^2}+5}=5\]

hartnn (hartnn):

lol

OpenStudy (dls):

@hartnn @hba

OpenStudy (hba):

1) squaring both sides

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE \frac{\lambda^2}{4}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{\lambda^2}{4}-2 \frac{1-\lambda}{2} -5=25\]

OpenStudy (hba):

Now take lcm

OpenStudy (dls):

\[\LARGE \frac{\lambda}{2}+\lambda-6+\frac{1}{4}=25\]

OpenStudy (jiteshmeghwal9):

\[\Huge{\sqrt{\frac{\lambda}{2}+\frac{1-\lambda}{2}+5}=5}\]\[\Huge{\sqrt{\frac{\lambda +1- \lambda}{2}+5}=5}\]\[\Huge{\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}+5}=5}\]\[\Huge{\sqrt{\frac{11}{2}}=5}\]By squaring both sides\[\Huge{\frac{11}{2}\ne25}\]Hence, no solution.

OpenStudy (dls):

\[2\frac{\Lambda}{4}+4\lambda/4-\frac{125}{4}=0\]
