=> x approx 0.57915 x0.57915

or

x approx -1.07915x1.07915

Explanation:

8x^2-5=-4x8x25=4x

=> 8x^2-5+4x=0 8x25+4x=0

=> 8x^2+4x -5=0 8x2+4x5=0 --------(1)

using quadratic equation formula:

=> x= (-b+- sqrt(b^2-4ac))/(2a)x=b±b24ac2a

Substitute the corresponding values of a,b, and c from (1)

=> x= (-4+- sqrt(4^2-4xx8xx(-5)))/(2xx8)x=4±424×8×(5)2×8

=> x= (-4+- sqrt(16+ 160))/(16)x=4±16+16016

=> x= (-4+- sqrt(176))/(16)x=4±17616

=> xapprox -4/16 +- 13.266499/16x416±13.26649916 ---truncating value of sqrt(176)176

=>xapprox -1/4 +- 13.2665/16x14±13.266516

=> x approx - 0.25 +- 0.82915x0.25±0.82915

=> x approx - 0.25 + 0.82915 or x approx - 0.25 - 0.82915x0.25+0.82915orx0.250.82915

=> x approx 0.57915 x0.57915

or

x approx -1.07915x1.07915
