a) 3x^2 + 9x - 27 = 0
First let us
divide by 3 to simplify the equation:
==> x^2 + 3x - 9) =
0
Now we will use the formula to
solve.
We know that:
x = [ -b +-
sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/ 2*a
Let us
substitute.
x1 = ( -3 + sqrt(9 -4*-9) / 2 = ( -3 +
sqrt(45)/2
==> x1 =
(-3+3sqrt5)/2
==>x2=
(-3-3sqrt5)/2
b) x^2 + 2x - 15 =
0
To solve the equation we will use the factoring
method.
First, we will factor the
equation.
==> ( x+5) ( x-3) =
0
==> x1=
-5
==> x2=
3
==> x values are { -5,
3}
