If you are to solve each of the following quadratic equations, which method would you use and why? Explain your answer.
a. 9x2 = 225 d. 2x2 + x – 28 = 0

b. 4x2 – 121 = 0 e. 4x2 + 16x + 15 = 0

c. x2 + 11x + 30 = 0 f. 4x2 + 4x – 15 = 0


Sagot :

a. Factoring - since the it can be factored to (3x - 5)(3x + 5) by Binomial Theorem. b. Factoring - binomial theorem is also applied (2x - 11)(2x + 11) c. Quadratic Equation - can not be factored easily d. Factoring - can be factored (2x - 7)(x + 4) e. Factoring - can be factored (2x + 3)(2x + 5) f. Factoring - can be factored (2x - 3)(2x + 5)
