The larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.

<h3>How to find the roots of a quadratic equation?</h3>

Suppose that the given quadratic equation is

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Then its roots are given as:

x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

The given quadratic equation is

y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17

now, the roots of the equation are

x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{63.5^2 - 4(-2.2)(-17)}}{2(-2.2)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{4032.25 - 149.6}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm \sqrt{3882.65}}{(-4.4)}\\\\\\x = \dfrac{-63.5 \pm 62.31}{(-4.4)}

The two roots are 0.27 and 28.59.

Thus, the larger of the two roots of the equation y = -2.2x^2 + 63.5x - 17would be 28.59.
