Use the graphs to estimate both solutions to x^2+x-4=0

Mathematics

Bogdan [553]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

No graph so we'll use the quadratic formula

x^2+x-4=0

a = 1

b = 1

c = -4

x = -1 +- sqr root (1^2 - 4 * 1 * -4) / 2

x = (-1 +- sqr root (1 +16) ) / 2

x1 = (-1 + sqr root (17)) / 2

x2 = (-1 - sqr root (17)) / 2

Use the quadratic formula to solve. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.<br> 2x^2 -3x -7 = 0

abruzzese [7]

The quadratic formula is:

$\frac{-b + \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$ and $\frac{-b - \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} }{2a}$

In this case, a = 2, b = -3, and c = -7

So, we can plug in the numbers to get:

$\frac{-(-3) + \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(2)(-7)} }{2(2)}$ and $\frac{-(-3) - \sqrt{(-3)^2 - 4(2)(-7)} }{2(2)}$

Simplifying, we get:

$\frac{3 + \sqrt{65} }{4}$ and $\frac{3 - \sqrt{65} }{4}$

You need to use a calculator to find what these would be in decimal form. The answer, rounded to the nearest tenth, is: x = 2.8, x = -1.3
