Question

Use factoring to solve 3x^2-11x-6=0

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -0.62 and x = 4.29

These values are approximations !

Step-by-step explanation:

You can not use Factoring to solve this equation. Perhaps you did not use the exact notation as in the original question?

Anyway, to solve it, you can still use the ABC formula.

3x²-11x-6=0

a = 3

b =-11

c = -6

x = [11 + √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3

x = [11 + √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6

x = [11 + √{121 + 96} ]/ 6

x = [11 + √{217} ]/ 6

x = 4.29 This is an approximation !

x = [11 - √{121 -4(3 *-6)} ]/ 2*3

x = [11 - √{121 -4(-24)} ]/ 6

x = [11 - √{121 + 96} ]/ 6

x = [11 - √{217} ]/ 6

x = -0.62 This is an approximation !
