a+b=-11 ab=2\left(-40\right)=-80
To solve the equation, factor the left hand side by grouping. First, left hand side needs to be rewritten as 2x^{2}+ax+bx-40. To find a and b, set up a system to be solved.
1,-80 2,-40 4,-20 5,-16 8,-10
Since ab is negative, a and b have the opposite signs. Since a+b is negative, the negative number has greater absolute value than the positive. List all such integer pairs that give product -80.
1-80=-79 2-40=-38 4-20=-16 5-16=-11 8-10=-2
Calculate the sum for each pair.
a=-16 b=5
The solution is the pair that gives sum -11.
\left(2x^{2}-16x\right)+\left(5x-40\right)
Rewrite 2x^{2}-11x-40 as \left(2x^{2}-16x\right)+\left(5x-40\right).
2x\left(x-8\right)+5\left(x-8\right)
Factor out 2x in the first and 5 in the second group.
\left(x-8\right)\left(2x+5\right)
Factor out common term x-8 by using distributive property.
x=8 x=-\frac{5}{2}
To find equation solutions, solve x-8=0 and 2x+5=0.
2x^{2}-11x-40=0
All equations of the form ax^{2}+bx+c=0 can be solved using the quadratic formula: \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}. The quadratic formula gives two solutions, one when ± is addition and one when it is subtraction.
x=\frac{-\left(-11\right)±\sqrt{\left(-11\right)^{2}-4\times 2\left(-40\right)}}{2\times 2}
This equation is in standard form: ax^{2}+bx+c=0. Substitute 2 for a, -11 for b, and -40 for c in the quadratic formula, \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}.
x=\frac{-\left(-11\right)±\sqrt{121-4\times 2\left(-40\right)}}{2\times 2}
Square -11.
x=\frac{-\left(-11\right)±\sqrt{121-8\left(-40\right)}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -4 times 2.
x=\frac{-\left(-11\right)±\sqrt{121+320}}{2\times 2}
Multiply -8 times -40.
x=\frac{-\left(-11\right)±\sqrt{441}}{2\times 2}
Add 121 to 320.
x=\frac{-\left(-11\right)±21}{2\times 2}
Take the square root of 441.
x=\frac{11±21}{2\times 2}
The opposite of -11 is 11.
x=\frac{11±21}{4}
Multiply 2 times 2.
x=\frac{32}{4}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{11±21}{4} when ± is plus. Add 11 to 21.
x=8
Divide 32 by 4.
x=-\frac{10}{4}
Now solve the equation x=\frac{11±21}{4} when ± is minus. Subtract 21 from 11.
x=-\frac{5}{2}
Reduce the fraction \frac{-10}{4} to lowest terms by extracting and canceling out 2.
x=8 x=-\frac{5}{2}
The equation is now solved.
2x^{2}-11x-40=0
Quadratic equations such as this one can be solved by completing the square. In order to complete the square, the equation must first be in the form x^{2}+bx=c.
2x^{2}-11x-40-\left(-40\right)=-\left(-40\right)
Add 40 to both sides of the equation.
2x^{2}-11x=-\left(-40\right)
Subtracting -40 from itself leaves 0.
2x^{2}-11x=40
Subtract -40 from 0.
\frac{2x^{2}-11x}{2}=\frac{40}{2}
Divide both sides by 2.
x^{2}-\frac{11}{2}x=\frac{40}{2}
Dividing by 2 undoes the multiplication by 2.
x^{2}-\frac{11}{2}x=20
Divide 40 by 2.
x^{2}-\frac{11}{2}x+\left(-\frac{11}{4}\right)^{2}=20+\left(-\frac{11}{4}\right)^{2}
Divide -\frac{11}{2}, the coefficient of the x term, by 2 to get -\frac{11}{4}. Then add the square of -\frac{11}{4} to both sides of the equation. This step makes the left hand side of the equation a perfect square.
x^{2}-\frac{11}{2}x+\frac{121}{16}=20+\frac{121}{16}
Square -\frac{11}{4} by squaring both the numerator and the denominator of the fraction.
x^{2}-\frac{11}{2}x+\frac{121}{16}=\frac{441}{16}
Add 20 to \frac{121}{16}.
\left(x-\frac{11}{4}\right)^{2}=\frac{441}{16}
Factor x^{2}-\frac{11}{2}x+\frac{121}{16}. In general, when x^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square, it can always be factored as \left(x+\frac{b}{2}\right)^{2}.
\sqrt{\left(x-\frac{11}{4}\right)^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{441}{16}}
Take the square root of both sides of the equation.
x-\frac{11}{4}=\frac{21}{4} x-\frac{11}{4}=-\frac{21}{4}
Simplify.
x=8 x=-\frac{5}{2}
Add \frac{11}{4} to both sides of the equation.
