Make sure you write all the terms on the left-hand side of the equation and simplify as much as possible before using the Quadratic Formula.
-2 and 2.5
Practice makes perfect
We will use the Quadratic Formula to solve the given quadratic equation.
ax^2+ bx+ c=0 ⇕ x=- b± sqrt(b^2-4 a c)/2 aWe first need to identify the values of a, b, and c.
6x^2-3x-30=0 ⇕ 6x^2+( - 3)x+( - 30)=0
We see that a= 6, b= - 3, and c= - 30. Let's substitute these values into the Quadratic Formula.
Using the Quadratic Formula, we found that the solutions of the given equation are x= 1± 94. Therefore, the solutions are x_1= 104=2.5 and x_2= -84=-2.
