1. Problem Description

The problem asks to find the values of xx that satisfy the equation 4+2(5x+2x2)=114 + 2(5x + 2x^2) = 11. The answer should be in the simplest surd form.

2. Solution Steps

First, expand the expression:
4+2(5x+2x2)=114 + 2(5x + 2x^2) = 11
4+10x+4x2=114 + 10x + 4x^2 = 11
Rearrange the equation to the standard quadratic form:
4x2+10x+411=04x^2 + 10x + 4 - 11 = 0
4x2+10x7=04x^2 + 10x - 7 = 0
Use the quadratic formula to solve for xx:
x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
where a=4a = 4, b=10b = 10, and c=7c = -7.
x=10±1024(4)(7)2(4)x = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{10^2 - 4(4)(-7)}}{2(4)}
x=10±100+1128x = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{100 + 112}}{8}
x=10±2128x = \frac{-10 \pm \sqrt{212}}{8}
Simplify the square root:
212=453=253\sqrt{212} = \sqrt{4 \cdot 53} = 2\sqrt{53}
Substitute the simplified square root back into the equation:
x=10±2538x = \frac{-10 \pm 2\sqrt{53}}{8}
Divide both the numerator and the denominator by 2:
x=5±534x = \frac{-5 \pm \sqrt{53}}{4}

3. Final Answer

The values of xx are x=5+534x = \frac{-5 + \sqrt{53}}{4} and x=5534x = \frac{-5 - \sqrt{53}}{4}.
