Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The equation is a quadratic equation of the form ax+bx+c=0ax^ + bx + c =0 . The coefficients are a =1, b = -12, and c = -143. The roots of the equation can be found using the quadratic formula x=b±b4acax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^ -4ac}}{a}

STEP 2

Let's start by plugging the coefficients into the quadratic formula.
x=(12)±(12)241(14)21x = \frac{-(-12) \pm \sqrt{(-12)^2 -4*1*(-14)}}{2*1}

STEP 3

implify the equation.
x=12±144+562x = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{144 +56}}{2}

STEP 4

Add the numbers under the square root.
x=12±2002x = \frac{12 \pm \sqrt{200}}{2}

STEP 5

implify the square root. Note that 200=450=4510=4525=22522200 =4*50 =4*5*10 =4*5*2*5 =2^2*5^2*2.
x=12±2522x = \frac{12 \pm2*5*\sqrt{2}}{2}

STEP 6

implify the equation by dividing every term by2.
x=6±52x =6 \pm5\sqrt{2}The roots of the equation are 6+526 +5\sqrt{2} and 6526 -5\sqrt{2}, which corresponds to option d.
