Answer:
Yes. Her solution is correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's check if Jenna solution is correct:
To solve the equation 2x^2 +5x - 42 = 0, we can use Bhaskara's formula:
D = b^2 - 4ac = 25 + 4*2*42 = 25+336 = 361
sqrt(D) = 19
x1 = (-5 + 19)/4 = 14/4 = 7/2
x2 = (-5 - 19)/4 = -24/4 = -6
We must agree with Jenna's solution, because the values she found as solution are correct: with we replace these values of x in the equation, we will find 0 = 0, which is correct and proves that these values are the solution of the equation.
