Do you know the quadratic formula?

calculusxy · Answer

Quadratic Formula:
$\huge x =\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{(b)^2 - 4ac}}{2a}$

Standard Form of Quadratics: $\large ax^2 + bx + c = 0$ (where $a$ and $b$ are coefficients and $c$ is a constant).

calculusxy · Answer

It would be best to identify the $a$, $b$, and $c$ terms in your quadratic equation $6x^2 + 12x + 5 = 0$.
