Question

The nature of the roots of 3x^2+4x-5=0

Answer 1

Imaginary Roots

Explanation:

The quadratic equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 is written in standard form, and the formula is

x = [-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)]/ 2a

Given:

3x2 - 4x + 5 = 0'

Here a = 3, b = -4 and c = 5

Substituting:

x = [-(-4) ± √((-4)2 - 4 × 3 × 5)]/ (2 × 3)

Further Simplification:
x = [4 ± √(16 - 60)]/6 ----> Discriminant: b^2 - 4ac = -44 < 0.

x = [4 ± √-44]/ 6

Now, we get:

x = [4 ± 2√-11]/ 6

x = [2 ± i √11]/ 3

Therefore, The best description of the roots of the equation 3x2 - 4x + 5 = 0 is imaginary roots.
