OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\] Is the quadratic formula, and you already have your equation in standard form: \[ax^2+bx+c\] So all you need to do is plug in your numbers to get your zeros.

\[x^2+3x-70=0\]\[x^2+3x=70\]\[x^2+3x+2.25=72.25\]\[(x+1.5)^2=72.25\]\[x+1.5=±8.5\]\[x=-1.5± 8.5\]\[x=7~~~or~~~x=-9\]
