\[-(-7_)\pm \sqrt{(-7)^{2}-4(3)(-5)} \over2(3)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
the next step is
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[7\pm \sqrt{109}\over6\]
OpenStudy (turingtest):
looks good so far :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i don't understand the result 109

for instance: i know 7 sq = 49
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4 * 3 = 12
OpenStudy (anonymous):
4*-5=-20
OpenStudy (anonymous):
but they don't add up to 109
OpenStudy (turingtest):
you just can't simplify \[\sqrt{109 }\]so just leave it like that

this is sample equation
OpenStudy (turingtest):
oh I see what you mean...
OpenStudy (anonymous):
lets say the 2nd equation doens't exist: how to I arrive to the results of the 2nd equation
OpenStudy (turingtest):
you have that under the radical (which is called the discriminant by the way) is
\[(-7)^2-4(3)(-5)\]right? and you just don't see how that equals 109?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes!

OpenStudy (turingtest):
\[(-7)^2-4(3)(-5)=49+4(3)(5)=49+12(5)=49+60=109\]you maybe just missed the negative in the -5 makes the terms add I'm guessing....

OpenStudy (turingtest):
