Question

x2-2x-13=0 breaking this down following the 6 steps I end with the right side =x=1 and left side x=-4 is this right?

Answer 6

\[\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{(-2)^2 - 4(1)(-13)}}{2}\] \[\frac{2 \pm \sqrt{56}}{2}\] \[\frac{2 \pm 2 \sqrt{14}}{2}\] \[1 \pm \sqrt{14}\] \[x = 1 + \sqrt{14}\] \[x = 1 - \sqrt{14}\]
