solve 2x^2-4x+7=0 by using the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\] with \[a=2,b=-4,c=7\] gives \[\frac{4\pm\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times 2\times 7}}{2\times 2}\] it is arithmetic from there on in

@satellite73 what would be the answer

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you only need to do the arithmetic under the radical what do you get ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so 2x2=4? @satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes in the denominator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how about \((-4)^2-4\times 2\times 7\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6
