5x^2+5x 60=0

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You missed a "+" sign?

OpenStudy (littlebird):

What is between 5x and 60?

OpenStudy (uri):

^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the problem does not have an = it is just a space

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says 60=0 is that -60=0?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it also says find all roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[5x^2+5x +60=0 \rightarrow 5(x^2+x +12)=0 \rightarrow x^2+x +12=0\] \[x^2+x +12=0 \rightarrow x^2+x +12=0\] Now use quadratic eq in order to find its roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[x^2+x+12=0 \] comparing it with \[ax^2+bx+c=0 \] we find a=1, b= 1, c=12 \[x= \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\] \[x= \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1^2-4 \times 1 \times12}}{2 \times 1}\] \[= \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1-48}}{2 }= \frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{-47}}{2 }= \frac{-1 \pm i \sqrt{47}}{2 }\] Therefore \[x=\frac{-1 +\ i \sqrt{47}}{2 } ---or ----x=\frac{-1 -\ i \sqrt{47}}{2 }\] are the required roots of the given quadratic equation

so the 60=0 becomes +60 and those are all the roots of the equation?
