The correct Answer is:
To solve the quadratic equation \( \sqrt{6}x^2 - 4x - 2\sqrt{6} = 0 \) using the quadratic formula, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify coefficients The standard form of a quadratic equation is \( ax^2 + bx + c = 0 \). From the given equation, we can identify: - \( a = \sqrt{6} \) - \( b = -4 \) - \( c = -2\sqrt{6} \) ### Step 2: Write the quadratic formula The quadratic formula is given by: \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \] ### Step 3: Calculate \( b^2 - 4ac \) Now, we need to calculate \( b^2 - 4ac \): \[ b^2 = (-4)^2 = 16 \] \[ 4ac = 4 \cdot \sqrt{6} \cdot (-2\sqrt{6}) = -8 \cdot 6 = -48 \] Now, substituting these values: \[ b^2 - 4ac = 16 - (-48) = 16 + 48 = 64 \] ### Step 4: Substitute into the quadratic formula Now, substitute \( b \), \( b^2 - 4ac \), and \( a \) into the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-(-4) \pm \sqrt{64}}{2\sqrt{6}} = \frac{4 \pm 8}{2\sqrt{6}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the two possible values for \( x \) Now we will calculate the two possible values for \( x \): 1. \( x_1 = \frac{4 + 8}{2\sqrt{6}} = \frac{12}{2\sqrt{6}} = \frac{6}{\sqrt{6}} = \sqrt{6} \) 2. \( x_2 = \frac{4 - 8}{2\sqrt{6}} = \frac{-4}{2\sqrt{6}} = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{6}} \) ### Step 6: Rationalize the denominator for \( x_2 \) To rationalize \( x_2 \): \[ x_2 = \frac{-2}{\sqrt{6}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{6}}{\sqrt{6}} = \frac{-2\sqrt{6}}{6} = \frac{-\sqrt{6}}{3} \] ### Final Solutions Thus, the solutions to the equation \( \sqrt{6}x^2 - 4x - 2\sqrt{6} = 0 \) are: \[ x_1 = \sqrt{6} \quad \text{and} \quad x_2 = -\frac{\sqrt{6}}{3} \]
