\[y=-x^2+7x-10\]
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
Using the quadratic equation I got 8 and -1
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
But the possible answers are completely different

\(\large -x^2+7x-10 = 0\)
\(a = ?\)
\(b = ?\)
\(c = ?\)
OpenStudy (danielbarriosr1):
a=-1
b=7
c=-10
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
Yes !
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
your quadratic formula to solve zeroers :
\(\large x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\)

\[\frac{ x=-7\pm \sqrt{7^2-4(-1)(-10)} }{ 2(-1) }\]
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
\(\large x = \dfrac{-7 \pm \sqrt{7^2-4(-1)(-10)}}{2(-1)}\)
\(\large x = \dfrac{-7 \pm \sqrt{49- 40}}{-2}\)
\(\large x = \dfrac{-7 \pm \sqrt{~9}}{-2}\)
\(\large x = \dfrac{-7 \pm 3}{-2}\)
\(\large x = \dfrac{-7 + 3}{-2}, ~~ \dfrac{-7 - 3}{-2} \)
\(\large x = \dfrac{-4}{-2}, ~~ \dfrac{-10}{-2} \)
\(\large x = 2, ~~ 5 \)
