Question

anonymous · Answer

$$x=-7\pm \sqrt{49+48}/4$$

turingtest · Answer

myko is applying the formula for any equation in the form$$ax^2+bx+c=0$$called the "quadratic formula, which is$$x={-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}\over2a}$$

TuringTest could you show me the correct way to solve for x?

turingtest · Answer

that formula is all there is too it
brb

turingtest · Answer

the correct way to solve for x is to just identify a, b, and c and plug that into the quadratic formula

turingtest · Answer

sctatch that, there is another way by factoring

turingtest · Answer

scratch that*

turingtest · Answer

ask yourself "what two numbers, a and b, can be multiplied to give -6 and add to give 7 ?"

turingtest · Answer

the quadratic formula always works for equations of the form$$ax^2+bx+c=0$$but learning to recognize when something can be factored is a better way to develop skill in math
