49v^2-75v=-24-5vfactoring

We'll use another method to solve the
quadratic equation.


First, we'll have to
re-write the equation.


We'll add 5v both
sides:


49v^2 - 75v + 5v =
-24


Now, we'll add 24 both
sides:


49v^2 - 75v + 5v + 24 =
0


We'll combine like
terms:


49v^2 - 70v + 24 =
0


From this point, we can calculate the roots using 2
methods


First
method
:


We'll apply the quadratic
formula:


v1 = [-b+sqrt(b^2 -
4ac)]/2a


v1 =
[70+sqrt(196)]/98


v1 =
(70+14)/98


v1 = 84/98


v1 =
42/49


v1 =
6/7


v2 =
(70-14)/98


v2 = 56/98


v2 =
28/49


v2 =
4/7


Second
method:


We'll complete the
square


49v^2 - 70v + 24 =
0


[(7v)^2 - 7*2*5v + 5^2] - 5^2 + 24 =
0


(7v-5)^2 - 1 = 0


We'll solve
the difference of squares using the formula:


a^2 - b^2 =
(a-b)(a+b)


(7v-5)^2 - 1 =
(7v-5-1)(7v-5+1)


(7v-5)^2 - 1 =
(7v-6)(7v-4)


But, (7v-5)^2 - 1 = 0, so (7v-6)(7v-4) =
0


We'll set each factor as
0:


7v - 6 = 0


We'll add 6 both
sides:


7v = 6


We'll divide by
7:


v =
6/7


7v-4 =
0


We'll add 4 both sides:


7v =
4


v =
4/7

Comment on the setting and character of "The Fall of the House of Usher."How does setting act as a character?

Excellent observation, as it identifies how the settings of Poe's stories reflect the characters of their protagonists. Whet...
