What are the solutions of 2x2 + 3x = -5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Solve for 2x^2+3x+5=0 Use the quadratic formula.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Sure, so if you have the equation \[2x^2 + 3x +5=0 \] you need to complete the square. Do you know how to do that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

b=-+squared b^2-4ac/2a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah. Plug all the terms into the quadratic formula. So it would be \[x=-3\pm \sqrt{3^2-4(2)(5)}/2(2)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

By the way, that means divide everything by 2(2)
