@londonpapers do u want to simplify it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its says solve using Quadratic Formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ah. you mean 2x^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the quadratic formula says that \[x = (-b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac})/2a\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a is the coefficient for the x^2 term (here it's 2) b is the coefficient for the x term (here it's 3) and c is the constant (here it's -6)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so plugging in you get\[x = (-3 \pm \sqrt{3^2 - 4(2)(-6)}/(2\times2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

simplify and i assume you get ^that^
