Question

y=-16x2 + 327x + 1023 solved?

Answer 1

Do you know how to use the quadratic formula? For a quadratic equation \(ax^2+bx+c=0, a\ne0\) the solutions are given by
\[x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\]

Answer 2

yes i do but when i even start putting them into the equation it doesnt seem to work at all

Answer 3

What do you mean by that? Show me your work...

Answer 4

what are you using for the values of a, b, and c, for starters?

Answer 5

a is the -16x b is the 327x and c is the 1023

Answer 6

a=-16, not -16x; b = 327, not 327x

Answer 7

It doesn't come out to be a nice, round number...
