The solutions to the equation

can be written in the form , where  and  are relatively prime integers and .

What is the product  ?\(The solutions to the equation $$6x^2 + 10x = 4 - 10x - 6x^2$$ can be written in the form $x=\frac{P\pm \sqrt Q}{R}$, where $P$ and $R$ are relatively prime integers and $R>0$. What is the product $PQR$ ?\)

Hey, Mellie......it's tough to see the whole problem, but I guess you want the solutions

[ and their product ] for :

 

6x^2 + 10x  = 4 - 10x - 6x^2   simplify

 

12x^2 + 20x - 4   = 0     divide through by 4

 

3x^2 + 5x - 1   = 0 

 

The solutions are  :

 

[ -5 + √37] / 6     and   [ -5 - √37] / 6

 

The product of the solutions   =   ( [ -5 + √37] / 6] ) *  ( [ -5 - √37] / 6 )  =  [25 - 37] / 36  =  -12/36  =   -1/3

 

If this is not what you asked for......sorry  !!!!

 

 

 

cool cool cool
