we know that

The formula to calculate the solutions of the quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2} +bx+c=0$ is equal to

$x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

in this problem we have

$4x^{2}-3x+9=2x+1$

$4x^{2}-3x+9-2x-1=0$

$4x^{2}-5x+8=0$

$a=4\ b=-5\ c=8$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-(-5)(+/-)\sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4(4)(8)}}{2*4}$

$x=\frac{5(+/-)\sqrt{25-128}}{8}$

$x=\frac{5(+/-)\sqrt{-103}}{8}$

remember that

$i=\sqrt{-1}$

$x=\frac{5(+/-)i\sqrt{103}}{8}$

therefore

the answer is

the solutions are

$x=\frac{5+i\sqrt{103}}{8}$

$x=\frac{5-i\sqrt{103}}{8}$

The value of which satisfies the given quadratic equation are $\fbox{\begin\\\ \math x_{1}&=\dfrac{5+ i\sqrt{103}}{8} \ \ x_{2}&=\dfrac{5- i\sqrt{103}}{8}\\\end{minispace}}$

Further explanation:

The given equation is $4x^{2}-3x+9=2x+1$

From the given equation it is observed that the degree or the highest power of the variable is .

This implies that the given equation is a quadratic equation.

A quadratic equation is an equation whose degree or the highest power of the variable is .

To obtain the solutions of the given quadratic equation express the given equation in its simplest form i.e. collect all the variables on the left side of the equation.

$\begin{aligned}4x^{2}-3x+9&=2x+1\\4x^{2}-5x+8&=0\end{aligned}$

The above equation is a quadratic equation with its leading coefficient as .

Since, the degree of a quadratic equation is so, the there are two roots of the given quadratic equation.

The solutions of a quadratic equation are the points where the curve of the function intersects the -axis.

The solution of a quadratic equation of the form $ax^{2}+bx+c=0$ is calculated as follows:

$\fbox{\begin\\\ \math x=\dfrac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\\\end{minispace}}$

The above formula is called the quadratic formula.

On comparing the quadratic equation $4x^{2}-5x+8=0$ with the general form of the quadratic equation it is observed that the value of is , value of is and the value of is .

To obtain the solution of the given quadratic equation substitute the value of $a,b\ \text{and}\ c$ in the quadratic formula.

$\math x&=\dfrac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt{(-5)^{2}-4\times4\times8}}{2\times4}\\x&=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{25-128}}{8}\\x&=\dfrac{5\pm\sqrt{-103}}{8}\\x&=\dfrac{5\pm i\sqrt{103}}{8}$

In the above equation $i=\sqrt{-1}$

The first value of is as follows:

$\fbox{\begin\\\ \math x_{1}=\dfrac{5+ i\sqrt{103}}{8}\\\end{minispace}}$

The second value of is as follows:

$\fbox{\begin\\\ \math x_{2}=\dfrac{5- i\sqrt{103}}{8}\\\end{minispace}}$

Therefore, the two values of which satisfies the given quadratic function are as follows:

$\fbox{\begin\\\ \math x_{1}&=\dfrac{5+ i\sqrt{103}}{8} \ \ x_{2}&=\dfrac{5- i\sqrt{103}}{8}\\\end{minispace}}$
