Question

please help!
write a quadratic with a fractional and irrational solution and please solve!

Answer 1

Hey c:

Hmm, thinking..

Answer 2

Let's start with the solutions, that might be an easier way to form our quadratic.

How bout we let the first solution be: \(\Large\rm x=\dfrac{1}{2}\)
That will take care of the fractional solution.

This question is a little confusing.. since it's a quadratic, it will have two solutions. So I was going to do one fractional and one irrational solution.

But maybe it makes more sense to come up with solutions which are both fractional and irrational.

Mmmmm...

Answer 3

Ok ok ignore what I said before, let's try this instead maybe.
\(\Large\rm x^2+3x+1=0\)

Answer 4

okay i understand that its just that when i try an irrational..

Answer 5

can you simplify this equation further

Answer 6

Understand that taking the `square root` of any number that is NOT a `perfect square`, results in an irrational number.

Answer 7

So you're trying to get something that is NOT a perfect square for your discriminant.
