Question

XSQUARE + 12X +52=0 SHOW FACTORING AND ANSWER

Answer 1

What have you tried so far? Show your work.

Answer 2

A=X B=12 C=52

Answer 3

A, B, C will all be coefficients either explicit or implicit. X is not a coefficient. In this problem, a coefficient is a numeric in front of a variable.

Answer 4

A=1?

Answer 5

Yes, A = 1. When 1 is a coefficient, it is usually not written out unless there is some need to emphasize or draw attention to the 1.

Answer 6

OK SO I KNOW THE QUADRATIC FORMULA

Answer 7

I NEED HELP PLUGGING ANSWERS

Answer 8

INTO FORMULA

Answer 9

Are you using x = [-b +-sqrt(b^2 - 4ac)] / (2a) for your solution?

Answer 10

YES

Answer 11

Is the trouble you are having in the determinant?

Answer 12

I START TO PLUG IN THE NUMBERS AND I GET LOST

Answer 13

CAN YOU WRITE START FACTORING THE PROBLEM SO I CAN USE THIS AS A REFERENCE?

Answer 14

Well, you have made progress. You know the formula and you also have identified the coefficients A, B, and C, so you aren't too lost. Show me what work you have done plugging in the numbers and then I can tell you where you have your problem. We'll fix the problem, and then you'll be able to do these on your own, which is the goal. Substitute into the formula and type it out.
