5x=40x(-1/2)

Solution for 5x=40x(-1/2) equation:

5x=40x(-1/2)

We move all terms to the left:

5x-(40x(-1/2))=0

We multiply all the terms by the denominator


5x*2))-(40x(-1=0

Wy multiply elements

10x^2-1=0

a = 10; b = 0; c = -1;
Δ = b2-4ac
Δ = 02-4·10·(-1)
Δ = 40
The delta value is higher than zero, so the equation has two solutions
We use following formulas to calculate our solutions:
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}$

The end solution:

$\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{40}=\sqrt{4*10}=\sqrt{4}*\sqrt{10}=2\sqrt{10}$
$x_{1}=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)-2\sqrt{10}}{2*10}=\frac{0-2\sqrt{10}}{20}
=-\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{20}
=-\frac{\sqrt{10}}{10}
$
$x_{2}=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-(0)+2\sqrt{10}}{2*10}=\frac{0+2\sqrt{10}}{20}
=\frac{2\sqrt{10}}{20}
=\frac{\sqrt{10}}{10}
