Question
The roots of the quadratic equation $\sqrt{2}x^2 + 7x + 5\sqrt{2} = 0$ are
$\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{2}}, \sqrt{2}$
$\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{2}}, -2$
$\dfrac{5}{2}, -\sqrt{2}$
$-\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{2}}, -\sqrt{2}$
Validate
Solution
The correct answer is $-\dfrac{5}{sqrt{2}}, -\sqrt{2}$
Explanation
$\sqrt{2}x^2 + 7x + 5\sqrt{2} = 0$
⇒ $\sqrt{2}x^2 + 2x + 5x + 5\sqrt{2} = 0$
⇒ $\sqrt{2}x(x + \sqrt{2}) + 5(x + \sqrt{2}) = 0$
⇒ $ (x + \sqrt{2})(\sqrt{2}x + 5) = 0$
⇒ $x = -\dfrac{5}{\sqrt{2}}, -\sqrt{2}$
