d. 5/4, -1/3

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option (C) is correct.

The solution of the quadratic equation [tex]12x^2+11x-5=0[/tex]  is [tex]x=\frac{1}{3}[/tex] and [tex]x=\frac{-5}{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the given quadratic equation [tex]12x^2+11x-5=0[/tex]

We can solve the quadratic equation using middle term splitting method,

11x can be written as 15x-4x , we get,

[tex]\Rightarrow 12x^2+11x-5=0[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow12x^2+15x-4x-5=0[/tex]

Taking terms common, we get,

[tex]\Rightarrow3x(4x+5)-1(4x+5)=0[/tex]

Thus, [tex]\Rightarrow (3x-1)(4x+5)=0[/tex]

Thus, we get [tex]\Rightarrow (3x-1)=0[/tex]  or [tex]\Rightarrow (4x+5)=0[/tex]

this gives [tex]\Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{3}[/tex] or [tex]\Rightarrow x=\frac{-5}{4}[/tex]

Thus, the solution of the quadratic equation [tex]12x^2+11x-5=0[/tex]  is [tex]x=\frac{1}{3}[/tex] and [tex]x=\frac{-5}{4}[/tex]
