Question

using the quadratic formula
3x^2-4x=2

zepp · Answer

Set one side to 0, so it would be 3x^2-4x-2 = 0
And then you can use the quadratic formula. :)

hero · Answer

Hint:

The quadratic formula is: 

$$x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$$

And in this case the values of the coefficients  are
a = 3
b = -4
c = -2

anonymous · Answer

so it would be 4 pulse or minus sqrt 40 over 2?

hero · Answer

So input these values into the formula: 

$$x = \frac{4 \pm \sqrt{(-4)^2 - 4(3)(-2)}}{2(3)}$$

then simplify

zepp · Answer

It isn't 2, the denominator is 2a, you forgot something there. It should be 6

hero · Answer

zepp, you should probably make it clear who you are directing your comment towards. I simply wrote the formula, then inputted the values of a,b, and c.

hero · Answer

I wrote "then simplify" because it needs to be simplified.

zepp · Answer

I'm sorry, would be more careful next time. :)
