Solution

(ii) 2x2+x4=0
We know;
D = b24ac
= 124×2×(4)
= 1+ 32
= 33
Since D>0, roots are possible for this equation.
2x2+x=4
On dividing both sides of the equation by 2, we get;
x2+x2=2
On adding (14)2 to both sides of the equation, we get
(x)2+2×x×14+(14)2=2+(14)2(x+14)2=3316x+14=±334
x = ±33414
x = ±3314
x= 3314 or x=3314
