Solve each of the following quadratic equations:
taking LCM
Using the splitting middle term - the middle term of the general equation is divided in two such values that:
Product = a.c
For the given equation a = 10 ;b = - 3; c = - 1
= 10. - 1 = - 10
And either of their sum or difference = b
= - 3
Thus the two terms are - 5 and 2
Difference = - 5 + 2 = - 3
Product = - 5.2 = - 10
5x(2x-1) + 1(2x-1) = 0
(5x + 1)(2x-1) = 0
(5x + 1) = 0 or (2x-1) = 0
