The correlation explained
To explain the correlation between the solutions of current exercise and the previous exercise, let's recall the given formulas and corresponding equations.
Formula
Equation
- 6+sqrt(6^2-(4)( 1)( - 40))/2 * 1
1x^2+ 6x - 40=0
- 6-sqrt(6^2-(4)( 1)( - 40))/2 * 1
1x^2+ 6x - 40=0
- 13-sqrt(13^2-(4)( 2)( - 24))/2 * 2
2x^2+ 13x - 24=0
- 13+sqrt(13^2-(4)( 2)( - 24))/2 * 2
2x^2+ 13x - 24=0
Looking at the table, we can see that a pattern occurs.
x=- b±sqrt(b^2-4 a c)/2 a
In the above formula a, b, and c correspond with the values of a quadratic equation written in the standard form, ax^2+ bx+ c=0.
This formula is called the Quadratic Formula, and it can be used to find solutions to quadratic equations.
