Solve -2x2 +3x - 9 = 0.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ax2+bx+c=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so you have to figure out what a, b and c are.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a=−2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

c=−9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=3 c=-9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Then we use the formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

We just want numbers for a b and c and no x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3+- √3^2 4(-2)(-9)/2(-2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

−a∗−b=+c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3+-√-63 /-4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

From there we want to get the complex number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqrt -1=i

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3/4=0.75 0r the sqrt of 7
