Quadratic formula is x = -b+ or- sq rt b^2-4ac / 2a
a=2 b=5 c=-3
-5 +or- sqrt 5^2-4(2)(-3) / 2(2)
-5 +or- sqrt 49/ 4
-5 + 7 /4 = 2/4 = 1/2
-5 - 7 /4 = -12/4 = -3
Factoring a*c is 2*-3 =-6
Factors of -6 that add to 5 are 6 and -1
Split 5x into +6x-1x
2x^2+6x-1x-3 and group
2x(x+3)-1(x+3)
(x+3)(2x-1)=0
x+3=0 gives x=-3
2x-1=0 gives x=1/2
I’m pretty sure they both are functions

Answer:
x₂ = 7.9156
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function ln(x)=10-x with initial value x₀ = 9, we are to find the second approximation value x₂ using the Newton's method. According to Newtons method xₙ₊₁ = xₙ - f(xₙ)/f'(xₙ)
If f(x) = ln(x)+x-10
f'(x) = 1/x + 1
f(9) = ln9+9-10
f(9) = ln9- 1
f(9) = 2.1972 - 1
f(9) = 1.1972
f'(9) = 1/9 + 1
f'(9) = 10/9
f'(9) = 1.1111
x₁ = x₀ - f(x₀)/f'(x₀)
x₁ = 9 - 1.1972/1.1111
x₁ = 9 - 1.0775
x₁ = 7.9225
x₂ = x₁ - f(x₁)/f'(x₁)
x₂ = 7.9225 - f(7.9225)/f'(7.9225)
f(7.9225) = ln7.9225 + 7.9225 -10
f(7.9225) = 2.0697 + 7.9225 -10
f(7.9225) = 0.0078
f'(7.9225) = 1/7.9225 + 1
f'(7.9225) = 0.1262+1
f'(7.9225) = 1.1262
x₂ = 7.9225 - 0.0078/1.1262
x₂ = 7.9225 - 0.006926
x₂ = 7.9156
<em>Hence the approximate value of x₂ is 7.9156</em>
