hi, can you help me with algebra trinomials?

Parth (parthkohli):

sure, state your problem :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how do you do r^2+2r-24=0??

Parth (parthkohli):

Ah. This is a quadratic equation. Do you have any idea how to solve them?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

absolutly no idea..

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmm, I'm gonna teach you the formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

Parth (parthkohli):

Here is the formula. \(\Large \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} \over 2a} }\) Do you know what a,b and c are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

varibales?

Parth (parthkohli):

@mathhelp123 the standard equation is \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\)

Parth (parthkohli):

Or here, x = r b = 2 c = -24

Parth (parthkohli):

Substitute and obtain the answer :D

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

it seems you forgot a..just saying

Parth (parthkohli):

Hmm, we don't really need a here.

Parth (parthkohli):

Don't get in a fight with me lol

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
