      Question

      Solve the quadratic equation: 5xΒ² βˆ’ 13x + 6 =

      0
      A (3/5, 2) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B (1/5, 5) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C (3/7, 2) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D (1/5, 3) Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      We factorize 5xΒ² βˆ’ 13x + 6. Product = 5 Γ— 6 = 30, and we need two numbers whose sum is βˆ’13 and product is 30. Those numbers are βˆ’10 and βˆ’3. So, 5xΒ² βˆ’ 13x + 6 = 5xΒ² βˆ’ 10x βˆ’ 3x + 6 = 5x(x βˆ’ 2) βˆ’ 3(x βˆ’ 2) = (5x βˆ’ 3)(x βˆ’ 2) = 0 So, 5x βˆ’ 3 = 0 β‡’ x = 3/5 x βˆ’ 2 = 0 β‡’ x = 2 Answer: x = 3/5 or x = 2.
