Use the quadratic formula

how?

anonymous · Answer

Do you have the quadratic formula?

anonymous · Answer

yeah I know it but I don't know how to set it up

anonymous · Answer

Okay for the formula:

B = the coefficient of the x variable that has only one degree

C = is the constant

A = the coefficient of the x variable that has two degrees

Do you know what coefficients or degrees are?

anonymous · Answer

not really

anonymous · Answer

Okay. Coefficient is the number before variables. 

The coefficient of the x^2 is 1.

The coefficient of the x is 1.84

The constant at the end does not have a coefficient, it is just a number.

anonymous · Answer

Degrees means what the variable is raised to.

x^2 has a degree of 2 because x is being raised to the power of 2
x has a degree of 1 because x is being raised to the power of 1.

Let me know if you have any questions

x^1 = x
