Question

I need help finding two irrational solutions for g(x)=x^2+6x+1

Answer 1

well use the general quadratic formula

\[x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\]

in your question you have a = 1, b = 6 and c = 1

just substitute and simplify for the irrational roots

Answer 2

so, \[x=\frac{ -6\pm \sqrt{6^{2-4(1)(1)}} }{ 2(1) }\]

Answer 3

well nearly

\[x = \frac{-6 \pm \sqrt{6^2 - 4 \times 1 \times 1}}{2 \times 1}\]
