Solve the following for x: (CBSE 2014)
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.
⇒ 16x2 – 27x – 10 = 0
⇒ 16x2 – 32x + 5x – 10 = 0
⇒ 16x(x – 2) + 5(x – 2) = 0
⇒ (16x + 5)(x – 2) = 0
⇒ x = -5/16, 2
