Use the quadratic formula: \(\sf \large \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\) when you have: \(\sf \color{red}{ax^2+bx+c}\)

okay. thanks.

OpenStudy (ranga):

Simplify first by dividing throughout by -3 -3x^2 + 30x - 90 = 0 -3(x^2 - 10x + 30) = 0 x^2 - 10x + 30 = 0 use the quadratic formula.

okay, thank you..

OpenStudy (ranga):

you are welcome.

i did that, i seriously dont understand. i think its the third answer.

OpenStudy (ranga):

x^2 - 10x + 30 = 0 a = 1, b = -10, c = 30\[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2} - 4ac} }{ 2a } = \frac{ -(-10) \pm \sqrt{(-10) ^{2} - 4(1)(30)} }{ 2(1) } = \frac{ 10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 120} }{ 2 }\]\[\frac{ 10 \pm \sqrt{-20} }{ 2 } = \frac{ 10 \pm \sqrt{-5 * 4} }{ 2 } = \frac{ 10 \pm 2 * i5 }{ 2 } = 5 \pm i5\]
