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!
