9x^2-30x-25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and what ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

=0, BTW

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the discriminant ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks

@JaredP: $9x ^{2} - 30x - 25 \neq (3x - 5) (3x - 5)$ but $9x ^{2} - 30x + 25 = (3x - 5) (3x - 5)$

You should understand it though, getting answers on here is a waste of everyones time. Go to wolfram alpha if you just want the answer. If you don't understand how I got that answer than just say so.

@JaredP: The OP's equation do not have any real solution.

What JaredP means that you should us quadratic fromula which will give you : $\left\{\left\{x= \frac{5}{3} \left(1-\sqrt{2}\right)\right\},\left\{x=\frac{5}{3} \left(1+\sqrt{2}\right)\right\}\right\}$

In your case $ax^2 - bx - c$ $(-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac})/2a$ so in your case a=9, b = -30 and c=-25 Did I get that right FoolForMath?
