Please help!! Solve 3x^2 + x + 10 = 0. Round solutions to the nearest hundredth

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x ≈ -2.83 and x ≈ 0.83 No real solutions x ≈ -2.01 and x ≈ 1.67 x ≈ -1.67 and x ≈ 2.01

\[\Delta=1^{2}-4.3.10 \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

delta is negative so there are no real solutions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what I got x=−1 ± i √119 over 6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

waaaat.... arn't you suppose to solve using the quadratic formula?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ohhhhhh

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How did you solve it? @Mrs.Allison

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well, i used the delta formula, that is; DELTA=b^2-4.a.c

OpenStudy (anonymous):

delta=-119

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so theres no real solution

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okk ok, It's just alittle confusing because I learned it a different way :/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how did you learned it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Using the quadratic formula ax^2 + bx +c = 0 but there was another formula that kinda looked like yours that I learned about and that was (hold on lemme draw it)
