Question

Solve x^2 + 4x - 10 = 0 please @pooja195

Answer 1

Hi there ;)
Welcome to Question Cove
Any ideas as to where we should start?

Answer 2

Hmm factoring is not going to work here, we will need to use the quadratic formula which looks like this:
\[\huge~\rm~x=\frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{ 2a }\]

\(\normalsize\color{ slate }{{\bbox[5pt, lightcyan ,border:2px solid black ]{ \LARGE{x=~} \huge{ \frac{-\color{magenta}{b} \pm\sqrt{ \color{magenta}{~b} ^2-4 \color{blue}{a} \color{red}{c}~}}{2 \color{blue}{a}} }~ }}}\)

when the equation is \(\large\color{black}{ \color{blue}{a} x^2+ \color{magenta}{b}x+ \color{red}{c}=0 }\).
Are you familiar with this?

Answer 3

Hot dayum, lol. Yes I am familiar with that.

Answer 4

Can you tell me the a,b,c values? :P

Answer 5

a is 1, b is 4, c is -10
