Q36 of 82 Page 4

Solve the following quadratic equation for x:

3√5x2 + 25x – 10√5 = 0 (CBSE 2015)

In factorization, we write the middle term of the quadratic equation either as a sum of two numbers or difference of two numbers such that the equation can be factorized.



3√5x2 + 30x – 5x – 10√5 = 0


3√5x(x + 2√5) – 5(x + 2√5) = 0


(x + 2√5)(3√5x – 5) = 0


x = -2√5, √5/3
