Answer for Blank 1: _________________

Answer 1

\[\huge\rm x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{\color{ReD}{b^2-4ac}}}{ 2a }\]
red part
known as discriminant tells you how many real solutions are there or if it's factorable or not

Answer 2

Ok

Answer 3

now solve the 2nd part
a b c values are \[\huge\rm \color{reD}{A}x^2+\color{blue}{B}x+\color{green}{C}=0\]
