Question 3 Find the roots of 4x2 + 3x + 5 = 0 by the method of completing the square. 4x2 + 3x + 5 = 0 Dividing by 4 4š„2/4+3š„/4+5/4=0 x2 + 3š„/4+5/4=0 We know that (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2 Here, a = x & 2ab = 3š„/4 2xb = 3š„/4 2b = 3/4 b = 3/4Ć1/2 b = 3/8 Now, in our equation x2 + 3š„/4+5/4=0 Adding and subtracting (3/8)^2 x2 + 3š„/4+5/4+(3/8)^2ā(3/8)^2=0 x2 + 3š„/4+(3/8)^2+5/4ā(3/8)^2=0 (š„+3/8)^2+5/4ā(3/8)^2=0 (š„+3/8)^2=(3/8)^2ā5/4 (š„+3/8)^2=9/64ā5/4 (š„+3/8)^2=(9 ā 5(16))/64 (š„+3/8)^2=(9 ā 80)/64 (š„+3/8)^2=(ā71)/64 Since square of any number cannot be negative So, answer does not exist
