Question

Identify the solutions to the quadratic equation 6x^2+x-1=0

Answer 1

Answer:

1/3 and -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use the factoring method to identify the solutions of x

6x^2+x-1

2 numbers have to multiply to 6 and subtract to 1 because x is the same as 1x

So, you get 3x and 2x

since you know that -1x1 is -1 you will get

(3x-1)(2x+1)=0

Now, since (3x-1) and (2x+1) multiply to get 0, if either (3x-1) or (2x+1) is 0 the statement will be valid

3(1/3)-1=0

2(-1/2)+1=0

So, your answers are 1/3 and -1/2
