OpenStudy (mimi_x3):
x^2 + 7x - 3 = 0
a = 1 , b = 7 , c = -3
Sub it into the quadratic formula.
hero (hero):
x^2 + (7+ sqrt{61})x/2 + (7-sqrt{61}x)/2 - 3 = 0
x(x+(7+sqrt{61})/2 + (7-sqrt{61})/2)(x+7+sqrt{61})/2) = 0
(x+7+sqrt{61})/2)(x+7-sqrt{61})/2) = 0
x = -7-sqrt{61})/2
x = -7+sqrt{61})/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Solve using formula for quadratic equation
hero (hero):
Or factor by grouping
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes....

no no i like it.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^2 + (7+ \sqrt{61})x/2 + (7-\sqrt{61}x)/2 - 3 \]
\[= 0 x(x+(7+\sqrt{61})/2 + (7-\sqrt{61})/2)(x+7+\sqrt{61})/2)
\]
\[ = 0 (x+7+\sqrt{61})/2)(x+7-\sqrt{61})/2) = 0 x = -7-\sqrt{61})/2 x = -7+\sqrt{61})/2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wait i messed that up
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[x^2 + (7+ \sqrt{61})x/2 + (7-\sqrt{61}x)/2 - 3 = 0 \]
\[x(x+(7+\sqrt{61})/2 + (7-\sqrt{61})/2)(x+7+\sqrt{61})/2) = 0\]
\[ (x+7+\sqrt{61})/2)(x+7-\sqrt{61})/2) = 0 \]
\[x = -7-\sqrt{61})/2 x = -7+\sqrt{61})/2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
got it!
