1 Answer - Sort by: Date | Rating

    Quadratic Formula:
    [-b +square root(b2-4ac)]/2a & [-b -square root(b2-4ac)]/2a
    ..
    In: 2x2 + 9x - 7 = 0
    a=2, b=9, c= -7
    Put "a", "b" and "c" in quadratic formula, We get:
    ..
    [-2+square root(22-4(2)(-7)]/2(2)
    = [-2+square root(4+56)]/4
    = [-2+7.75]/4
    = [5.75]/4
    = 1.44
    ..
    And for minus formula: [From here onwards V--=square root]
    [-2+V--(22-4(2)(-7)]/2(2)

    = [-2-V--(4+56)]/4

    = [-2-7.75]/4

    = [-9.75]/4

    = -2.44
    ..
    Hence answers are (1.44, -2.44)
