What is x to the second power - 5x + 6 = 0
Do you mean x^2 - 5x + 6?
You need to use the quadratic formula.
Yea Ga
\[x = \frac{ -b \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{ 2a }\]
im not good in math !
I'll help you. :)
Okay, a quadratic equation looks like this: \[ax^{2}+bx+c=0\]
So for your equation, \[x^{2} - 5x + 6 = 0\] \[a = 1, b = -5, c = 6\]
So we plug that into the quadratic formula, and then solve. I'm going to need you to put in some input so I don't just give you the answer. Fair right?
\[x = \frac{ 5 \sqrt{5^{2} - 4(1)(6)}}{ 2(1) }\]
So, the first step is to simplify what's under the square root. \[\sqrt{5^{2} - 4(1)(6)}\]
do you understand so far?

I'll explain how to do this but I need to make sure you're there and that you understand what I'm doing.
no i dnt
Okay, what do you not understand so far: You don't know how I plugged in the variables into the equation? You don't know how to solve: \[\sqrt{5^{2} - 4(1)(6)}\]
@DestinyWay16
no
no what?
