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
