i think you need the Pythagorean theorem for this one
hero (hero):
What? lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x = [ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} ] / 2a\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ax^2 + bx + c = 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
what

That's not pythagorean theorem, that's the quadratic formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i think you need to use quadratic formula..
a= 4 b= -15 c= -3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a = 4, b = -15, c = -3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohh im on drugs.. .. haha havent slept
OpenStudy (anonymous):
how do i solve it though

just substitute tha values a,b and c in the formula
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok trouble with factors
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yea big trouble
OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[4x^2 -15x - 3 = 0\]
\[Ok \:\:\:\:I \:\:\:\:\:suggest \:\:\:\:\:\:quadratic \:\:\:\:\:\:\:formula\]
\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\]
Now, Compare these terms to General Equation
\[ax^ + bx +c =0\]
Now, After this
\[a = 4\]\[b =-15\]\[c=-3\]Now put these into the formula and have Roots : )
If you have any problem then just message me
