Question
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
17x2 - 28x + 12 = 0

Answer

17x2 + 28x + 12 = 0
We will apply discriminant rule,
$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$
Where D = b2 - 4ac
= (-28)2 - 4.17.12
= 784 - 816
= -32
From (A)
$\text{x}=\frac{-28\pm\sqrt{-32}}{2.17}$
$=\frac{-28\pm4\sqrt{2}\text{i}}{34}$
$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{-14\pm2\sqrt{2}\text{i}}{17}$
