HELP! PLEASE

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sum?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lololol this is priceless the last statement is correct. you can always solve via the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah @Morgan27 , umm I'd suggest you go through the options first before solving. You see there is a possibility to factorise also

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the dicriminant is \[(-2)^2-4\times (-35)=4+140=144\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that but how do i do it? thats my question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so a) is it not -136

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and b) you can solve by factoring

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, the second option is correct. And as @satellite73 said above, any quadratic equation can be solved using the quadratic formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So basically you got two correct options, and you dont need to check the discriminant.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Cause there are two, sure shot answers (Y)
