Question

Solve, using the quadratic formula: 4x2 = -7x - 10

Answer 1

write it in the form

ax^2 + bx + c = 0

and then plug in the values of a,b and c into the formula

Answer 2

first of all, send all the terms to one side of the equal sign......
you get
\[4x ^{2} + 7x + 10 = 0\]
With the equation in this form, you could now use the quadratic formula

Answer 3

\[x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac} }{ 2a }\]

Answer 4

You just have to solve it?
