Question
Show the following quadratic equation by factorization method:
$\text{x}^2+\text{x}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0$

Answer

$\text{x}^2+\text{x}+\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=0$

We will apply discriminant rule,

$\text{x}=\frac{-\text{b}\pm\sqrt{\text{D}}}{2\text{a}}\ ...(\text{A})$

Where D = b2 - 4ac

$=1^2-4.1.\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}$

$= 1 - 2\sqrt{2}$

From (A)

$\text{x}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{-(2\sqrt{2}-1})}{2}$

$=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{2\sqrt{2}-1\text{ i}}}{2}$

Thus,

$\therefore\text{x}=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{2\sqrt{2}-1\text{ i}}}{2}$

A man wants to cut three lengths from a single piece of board of length 91cm. The second length is to be 3cm longer than the shortest and the third length is to be twice as long as the shortest.

[Hint: If x is the length of the shortest board, then x , (x + 3) and 2x are the lengths of the second and third piece, respectively. Thus, x + (x + 3) + 2x $\leq$ 91 and 2x $\ge$ (x + 3) + 5].
