need the step by step please. x^2-3x-1=0
use the quadratic formula
x*2 -3x -1 =0 3 +/- radical ( (-3)*2 - 4(1)(-1) ) 3 +/- radical (9+4) x_1,_2 =-------------------------- = ---------------- = 2(1) 2 3 +/- radical 13 = --------------- 2
\[-b+or-\sqrt{b^2-4ac}\] --------------------- \[2a\]
she said step by step....lol
well you have to try it atleast you have the formula
use \[x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\] put \[a=1,b=-3,c=-1\] get \[\frac{-(-3)\pm\sqrt{(-3)^2-4\times 1\times -1}}{2\times 1}\]
this gives \[\frac{9\pm\sqrt{9+4}}{2}\]
which in turn gives \[\frac{9\pm\sqrt{13}}{2}\] and that is your answer
step by step
That's much better, lol
hey satellite73 thos are not correct solutions
please check you newly
jhonny is right
at least he presented step by step, but lol
ty heromiles
I hope levie isn't confused by any of this...lol
