Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
- B ± √ B2-4AC
x = ————————
2A
In our case, A = 3
B = -2
C = -10
B2 - 4AC =
4 - (-120) =
= 124
Applying the quadratic formula :
2 ± √ 124
x = —————
6
√ 124 simplified
The prime factorization of 124 is
2•2•31
To be able to remove something from under the radical, there have to be 2 instances of it
√ 124 = √ 2•2•31 =
± 2 • √ 31
√ 31, rounded to 4 decimal digits, is 5.5678
So now we are looking at:
x = ( 2 ± 2 • 5.568 ) / 6
Two real solutions:
x =(2+√124)/6=(1+√ 31 )/3= 2.189
or:
x =(2-√124)/6=(1-√ 31 )/3= -1.523
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
3x^2-2x-10=0
This is a quadratic equation that can be solved using the quadratic formula where
a = 3, b = -2, and c = -10
x=−b±(b^2−4ac)^(1/2)/2a
x=−(−2)±((−2)2−4(3)(−10)^(1/2)/2(3))
x=2±(124)^(1/2)/6
Simplify the Radical:
x=((2/6) ±2(31)^(1/2))/6
x=26±231−−√6
Simplify fractions and/or signs:
x=1/3±√31/3
which becomes
x=2.18925
