solve x^2+7x-3=0

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....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

see what you have done!

myininaya (myininaya):

lol its missing some parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i can't really read it but i get the idea that it is the "method of myininaya" lol

myininaya (myininaya):

lol

hero (hero):

:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i just copied and pasted hero's answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

come on man, you cant let myin think she has won

OpenStudy (anonymous):
