Linear Equations Questions
What is the solution to the equation x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0?
-
x = 1, x = 3
-
x = 2, x = 3
-
x = 1, x = 4
-
x = 2, x = 4
A
Correct answer
Explanation
To solve the equation x^2 - 4x + 3 = 0, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. Substituting the values of a, b, and c, we get x = (-(-4) ± √((-4)^2 - 4(1)(3))) / 2(1). Simplifying this equation, we get x = (4 ± √(16 - 12)) / 2. Therefore, the solutions to the equation are x = 1 and x = 3.
