The equation \( -3x = -10x^2 - 4 \) has two complex roots: \( x = \frac{3 + i\sqrt{151}}{20} \) and \( x = \frac{3 - i\sqrt{151}}{20} \).

Solución

We start with the equation \[ -3x = -10x^2 -4. \] First, we bring all terms to one side to write the equation in standard quadratic form: \[ -3x + 10x^2 + 4 = 0. \] Reordering the terms we obtain: \[ 10x^2 - 3x + 4 = 0. \] For a quadratic equation of the form \[ ax^2 + bx + c = 0, \] the roots are given by \[ x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}. \] Here, we have \( a = 10 \), \( b = -3 \), and \( c = 4 \). Plugging these into the quadratic formula: \[ x = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4\cdot 10 \cdot 4}}{2\cdot 10}. \] Simplify step by step: \[ x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{9 - 160}}{20}, \] \[ x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{-151}}{20}. \] Since the discriminant \( 9 - 160 = -151 \) is negative, the equation has two complex roots. We can express the square root of the negative number using the imaginary unit \( i \): \[ \sqrt{-151} = i\sqrt{151}. \] Thus, the roots of the equation are: \[ x = \frac{3 \pm i\sqrt{151}}{20}. \]

Beyond the Answer

To solve the equation \( -3x = -10x^2 - 4 \), we can rearrange it into a standard quadratic form. By moving all terms to one side, we get \( 10x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0 \). This is a classic quadratic equation, and can be solved using the quadratic formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} \), where \( a = 10 \), \( b = -3 \), and \( c = -4 \). When you plug in the values, the discriminant \( b^2 - 4ac \) calculates to \( (-3)^2 - 4(10)(-4) = 9 + 160 = 169 \). Taking the square root, we get \( \sqrt{169} = 13 \). Plugging everything into the quadratic formula, we obtain the roots \( x = \frac{3 \pm 13}{20} \). This results in two different solutions: \( x = \frac{16}{20} = 0.8 \) and \( x = \frac{-10}{20} = -0.5 \). So, the roots of the equation are \( x = 0.8 \) and \( x = -0.5 \). Remember to always double-check your roots by plugging them back into the original equation—math magic at its best!
