equation

Parth (parthkohli):

\[ x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} \over 2a}\]Hinty hint.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my answer correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x = -2 +/- 1sqroot 13

Parth (parthkohli):

No... :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it okay if you can show me the correct way?

Parth (parthkohli):

\[x = {-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac} \over 2a}\]You already know what a, b and c are... don't you?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes a = 1 b = 4 c = -9

Parth (parthkohli):

Yeah, but you plug the values into the formula that I gave you.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

Parth (parthkohli):

You can simply do that one yourself. \[y = x + 3 \]Suppose they ask you what \(y\) is when \(x = 6\). You plug-in \(x = 6\).\[\implies y = 6 + 3\\\implies y=9 \]

Parth (parthkohli):

Does that example help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok
