check answer please 5x^2-5x+1 solve using the quadratic formula
What answer did you get?
\[x=-5\pm \frac{ \sqrt{-5^{2}-4(5)(1)} }{ 2(5) }\]
\[x=-5\pm \frac{ \sqrt{45} }{ 10 }\]
but in my answer choices i dont have this do i simplify the 45?
The negative sign is incorrect.
i know typo
\[\sqrt{45}=\sqrt{9}\times \sqrt{5}\]
so my answer would be \[x=\frac{ 5\pm \sqrt{5} }{ 10 }\]
What happened to the 3 in front of the radical?
what?
\[\sqrt{9}=3\]
ok im conffused
After you square root 9, 3 vanishes like a ghost for no reason. He's like, "I did my business now I'm GONE!"
\[\sqrt{45}=\sqrt{9\times5}=\sqrt{9}\times \sqrt{5}=3\sqrt{5}\]
what would my final answer be
Just put a 3 to left of the radical (square root sign) in your last answer.
ok my answer choices dont have a 3 in front of the square root sign
answer choices \[x=\frac{ 5\pm \sqrt{5} }{ 10},x=\frac{ -8\pm \sqrt{28} }{ 6 },x=\frac{5\pm \sqrt{45} }{ 20 }\]
this is how my question looks like
Which two values of x roots are polynomial below 5x^2+5x-1
