a) \(x^2-7x-5=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow x^2-2.x.\frac{7}{2}+\frac{49}{4}-\frac{49}{4}-5=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-\frac{7}{2}\right)^2-\frac{69}{4}=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x-\frac{7}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{69}}{2}\right)\left(x-\frac{7}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{69}}{2}\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x-\frac{7}{2}-\frac{\sqrt{69}}{2}=0\\x-\frac{7}{2}+\frac{\sqrt{69}}{2}=0\end{cases}}\)\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=\frac{7+\sqrt{69}}{2}\\x=\frac{7-\sqrt{69}}{2}\end{cases}}\)
Vậy tập hợp nghiệm\(S=\left\{\frac{7+\sqrt{69}}{2};\frac{7-\sqrt{69}}{2}\right\}\)
b) \(3x^2-5x-8=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow3x^2+3x-8x-8=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow3x\left(x+1\right)-8\left(x+1\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\left(x+1\right)\left(3x-8\right)=0\)
\(\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x+1=0\\3x-8=0\end{cases}\Leftrightarrow\orbr{\begin{cases}x=-1\\x=\frac{8}{3}\end{cases}}}\)
Vậy tập hợp nghiệm \(S=\left\{-1;\frac{8}{3}\right\}\)
