-z^2+6=-5z

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you add 5z to both sides you will get your expression in the quadratic form, \[-z^2+6 = - 5z\] After adding 5z to both sides we now have: \[-z^2+6 + 5z = 0\] If we rearrange the 5z and 6 we get: \[-z^2+5z+6 = 0\] This is now in the quadratic form: \[ax^2+bx+c = 0\] For which you can use the quadratic formula to solve for the roots: \[\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\]

can you explain to me how to do quadratic form?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If you compare them you see that we have, a = -1 b = 5 c = 6 Using those we can put them into our quadratic formula and we will have: \[\frac{ -5 \pm \sqrt{(5^2)-4(-1)(6)} }{ 2(-1) }\]

then do i solve that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thank you!

It depends on the final answer you are asked for but yes you should solve that and it will give you the roots of your problem. My pleasure.
