hartnn (hartnn):

lets take x^2+x-1=0(cannot be solved by factoring) Compare your quadratic equation with \(ax^2+bx+c=0\) find a,b,c then the two roots of x are: \(\huge{x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}}\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To have a root b^2-4ac>=0 And for the quadratic equation not to solved by factoring b^2-4ac should not be a perfect square number.

hartnn (hartnn):

x^2+x-1=0(cannot be solved by factoring) because there are no pair of numbers with product =-1 and sum = 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@hartnn , what could I put as the a,b, and c value ?

hartnn (hartnn):

x^2+x-1=0 a-1 , b=1 , c=-1
