Identify the values of a, b, and c, and find the solutions using the quadratic formula. Show all work to receive credit. Part 2: Using complete sentences, explain how you know that the equation from Part 1 cannot be solved by factoring, but can be solved by using the quadratic formula.

and what is the credit ?? :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hello? @Ganpat

OpenStudy (ganpat):

sorry, was a joke..

OpenStudy (ganpat):

m thinking of equation, wait...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (ganpat):

is the quadratic formula is that -b +- sq rt b2 - 4ac / 2a ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i think its ax^+bx+c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ax^2+bx+c

OpenStudy (ganpat):

thats a equation.. m asking about quadratic formula...

OpenStudy (ganpat):

anyways, x2 + 6x + 32 = 0

OpenStudy (ganpat):

this cannot be solved by factorization.. as, x * y not equal to 32 , in the same x + y not equal to 6..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay

OpenStudy (ganpat):

understood ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you gonna keep helping me?

OpenStudy (ganpat):

tell me..

OpenStudy (ganpat):

i mean, the answer is yes !!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay so b is 6 and c is 32 but what is a?

OpenStudy (ganpat):

a = 1..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhh yeah haha.

OpenStudy (ganpat):

:D..

OpenStudy (anonymous):
