OpenStudy (anonymous):

do u have to factor it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i gave it how its given to me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\huge a^2-5a-20=0\] \[\huge a=\frac{5-\sqrt{25-4(-20)}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}(5-\sqrt{105})\] \[\huge a=\frac{5+\sqrt{25-4(-20)}}{2} = \frac{1}{2}(5+\sqrt{105})\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is a parabola with 2 roots

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so u would do the quadratic formula , so it would be x=5plus or minus isqrt of 55 over 2
