@jim_thompson5910
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you solve for k? or?....
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
I got the answer of \(5 \pm 2\sqrt{3}\)
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
Yes you solve for k

alright give me a sec.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Do you want me to explain too?
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
Can you just say whether my answer was correct or not?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
it's incorrect
OpenStudy (anonymous):
It's not correct

OpenStudy (calculusxy):
Now you can explain
OpenStudy (anonymous):
did you find your a, b ,and c function to put it into the quadratic formula?
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
Okay wait.. gimme a moment
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
Sorry would the answer be:
\[5 \pm \sqrt{13}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
no

Nope
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
I don't understand
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you know the quadratic formula and get your right functions to put it into the formula?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
@calculusxy what is the value of `b^2 - 4ac` in this case?
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
I got the equation as:
\[k^2 - 10k - 12 = 0 \]

OpenStudy (calculusxy):
\[\frac{ 10 \pm \sqrt{100 - 4(-12)} }{ 2 }\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[k=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac} }{ 2a}\]
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
That's what I got after I put it in the quadratic formula
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what is 100-4(-12) equal to?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
a=1, b=-10, c=-12

OpenStudy (calculusxy):
yes
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
\[\frac{ 10 \pm \sqrt{52} }{ 2 }\]
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
100-4(-12) = 100+48
NOT
100-4(-12) = 100-48
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
OH okay ...
OpenStudy (calculusxy):
so i got \[5 \pm \sqrt{37}\]
