Question

this is a quadratic equation. i know the formula i just need to know how to do it. x^2+2x-24=0

Answer 1

Do you know how to find your A, your B, any your C?

Answer 2

yeah

Answer 3

Wait- just re read the question. You're looking to use the quadratic formula, right?

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

Okay, good. So your a is 1, your b is 2, and your c is -24

so wherever you see an a in the formula, you put a 1, 2 for the b, and -24 for the c

Answer 6

So, the formula starts with (-b)^2. For that b, you'd put in 2. Do the same with the rest of the a's,b's, and c's and then just solve for x

Answer 7

Is that good or do you want to do the process together?

Answer 8

could we do it together to make sure i'm doing it right?

Answer 9

sure!

Answer 10

Alright, to heck with the stupid equation. I'm drawing it
