want to make sure I solved this quadratic equation correctly..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-3^{2}-x+1=0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 1 +/- (sqroot 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get -1/6 +/- sqrt(13)/6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lemme type what i did and you can see if i went wrong

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[[-(-1) \pm \sqrt{1-4(-3)1}]/(2(-3))\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I probably did it wrong. So do you think those are 2 non real solutions? I need to indicate whether there are 2 different real solutions, 2 non real solutions, or 1 repeated real solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

There are 2 real solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok. And the square root is only over the 13?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeahp lol
