3x^2-5x-13=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you have any specific method? remember it can be solved by factoring, or by the general cuadratic formula..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no

OpenStudy (anonymous):

give me one minute

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. thank you for your help.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a = 3; b = -5; c = -13 because the discriminant (b^2 - 4 ac = -13) is negative, this equation has not a real solution. Thus, applying the general formula for quadratic equation, we get : x1=\[1/6(5+i*\sqrt{181})\] x2=\[1/6(5-i*\sqrt{181})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wait. Ther is a mistake. The discriminant is positive. Gonna fix it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. thank you so much.

Check the attachment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The solution is in the attachment

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that what you want?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because discriminant is positive, you have two solutions for you equation; they are: x1 = 3.075604007845618 x2 = -1.40893734117895
