just to make sure, this is correct, yes? solve 0 = x^2 + 10x + 5

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

first of all can you type out your work...i see you have posted a png but please also post a formula...i see your using the quadratic formula you seem to have a good understanding of it...

OpenStudy (aripotta):

i don't like typing out my work, i think it's a waste of time :/ can you not read my writing? :c and sorry. yes, i'm using the quadratic formula :]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it looks correct to me.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

oops...really quickly...answer me on this...you put -5 plus or minus the \[2\sqrt{5}\] Which is it...plus...or ...minus...

OpenStudy (aripotta):

it's plus or minus

OpenStudy (aripotta):

±

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

no..one or the other...that is a step in the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it solves for two different solutions. when you add it, it gives one, and when you subtract it, it gives another.

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

oh yes...lord have mercy

OpenStudy (aripotta):

it's ± D:<

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, you can have two different possible solutions, if i remember correctly, just plug in the solutions into the equation and if it equals 0 it is correct

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

im sorry i knew that...lol HAHA i did this two years ago...and still use it so i should remember it...

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

skay thank you...i would have really messed him up without you lol

OpenStudy (aripotta):

my answer is right tho, yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sure lol. one second ari, let me plug the solutions into it and check

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

....yes you answer is right..i dont think that technically goes against the code of conduct...checking an answer..lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I haven't done this for years, something about this is bothering me though.

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (snuggielad):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

nvm you got it! its correct

OpenStudy (aripotta):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (snuggielad):
