Solve √2x² + 7x + 5√2 = 0 by Factorization

Question:

\[ \sqrt2x^2+7x+5\sqrt2=0 \]

Solution

Given:

\[ \sqrt2x^2+7x+5\sqrt2=0 \]

Product of the coefficient of \(x^2\) and the constant term:

\[ (\sqrt2)(5\sqrt2)=10 \]

We split the middle term \(7x\) as \(5x+2x\):

\[ \sqrt2x^2+5x+2x+5\sqrt2=0 \]

Taking common factors:

\[ x(\sqrt2x+5)+\sqrt2(\sqrt2x+5)=0 \] \[ (\sqrt2x+5)(x+\sqrt2)=0 \]

Therefore,

\[ \sqrt2x+5=0 \quad \text{or} \quad x+\sqrt2=0 \] \[ x=-\frac{5}{\sqrt2} =-\frac{5\sqrt2}{2} \] \[ x=-\sqrt2 \]

Final Answer

\[ \boxed{x=-\frac{5\sqrt2}{2} \text{ or } x=-\sqrt2} \]
