like this?:
\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2x }2-x+5=0 \]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/2x^2-x+5=0
there's an exponent.
OpenStudy (khalilforthewin):
hello
OpenStudy (owlcoffee):
\[(\frac{ 1 }{ 2x })^{2}-x+5=0\]
Like that? or is the rest also an exponent?
OpenStudy (khalilforthewin):
ik the answer

\(\dfrac{1}{2}x^{2} - x + 5 = 0\)
Maybe multiply by 2?
\(x^{2} - 2x + 10 = 0\)
OpenStudy (khalilforthewin):
that

@Owlcoffee thats right! & @khalilforthewin can u explain?
OpenStudy (owlcoffee):
okay, let's see:
\[(\frac{ 1 }{ 2 })x^2-x+5=0\]
This can be solved using Tkhunny's form:
by multiplying the whole thing by 2:
\[x^2-2x+10=0\]
And then, apllying the quadratic formula:
\[x=\frac{ 2 \pm \sqrt{2^2-4(1)(10)} }{ 2 }\]
