Question

Use the quadratic formula to find solutions to the quadratic equation given below. 2x2+x-1=0

Answer 1

Answer:

$\boxed{x = \frac{1}{2}} \text{and} \boxed{x = - 1}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The quadratic formula is: $\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$.

So plugging in all the values, we are left with $\frac{-1 \pm 3}{4}.$

Then, we can solve for both values of x, which are $x = 1/2$ and $x = -1$
