@nnesha

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright what's the quadratic formula ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

oh oky lemme check

Nnesha (nnesha):

what are the a , b c value post the work plz :)

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

I think If you round the value to the nearest hundredth it would be B

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

A: 1 b: 5 c: 270

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm no remember first set the equation equal to 0 so you should move the constant term to the left side :=))

Nnesha (nnesha):

in order to use quadratic formula the equation should be in standard form Ax^2+Bx+C=0 like this :=))

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Alright

Nnesha (nnesha):

so first subtract 270 both sides and then plugin a , b c values let me know what you get post the work :=))

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[\frac{ -5\pm \sqrt{1060} }{ 2 }\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm i didn't get 1060..

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

\[\frac{ 5\pm32 }{ 2 }\]

Nnesha (nnesha):

hm how did you get 1060 ?

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Maybe I simplified wrong.

Nnesha (nnesha):

alright its okay so what did you multiply or add to get 1060 :=))

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

a:1 b:5 c:-265 | \[-5\pm \sqrt{5^{2}-4(1)(-265)}\]/2

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Or the problem could be my calculator is in Degrees

Nnesha (nnesha):

hmm alright so you did a mistake how did you get 265 ?

Nnesha (nnesha):

\[\huge\rm h^2+5h=270\] this is the equation in order to move 270 to the left side you should subtract 270 both sides riight

Nnesha (nnesha):

|dw:1451959178614:dw| you can NOT combine 5h with -270 they are not like terms.
