Solve Using The Quadratic Formula: X^2 - 3x - 23 = 5 Show Work?

Answer Question

1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    The general quadratic equation is;

    ax2 + bx + c= 0

    The quadratic formula to solve the equation is;

    x = [-b + (b2 - 4ac)1/2]/ 2a

    The given quadratic equation is x2 - 3x - 23 = 5

    x2 - 3x - 23 = 5

    x2 - 3x - 23 -5 = 0

    x2 - 3x - 28 = 0

    By using quadratic formula;

    x = [-*-3 + ((-3)2 - 4*1*-23)1/2]/2

    x = [3 +( 9 + 92)1/2]/2

    x = [3 + 1011/2 ] / 2

    x = [3 + 1011/2 ] / 2 , [3 - 1011/2]/2
    2 0
