Answer 1

Hey Pytdestiny, I will be helping you solve your problem today, any questions from the start?

Answer 2

No.

Answer 3

no questions. ok carry on

Answer 4

So am I going to receive help?

Answer 5

use the discriminant formula

Answer 6

The quadratic formula is
\(\LARGE\frac{-\color{lime}{b}\pm\sqrt{\color{lime}{b}^2-4\color{aqua}{a}\color{hotpink}{c}}}{2\color{aqua}{a}}\)
In your equation \(\sf\color{aqua}{1}t^2+\color{lime}{7}t+\color{hotpink}{-3}=0\)
\(\sf\color{aqua}{a=1}\\\color{lime}{b=7}\\\color{hotpink}{c=-3}\)
do you think you can plug in \(\sf\color{aqua}{a},~\color{lime}{b},~and~\color{hotpink}{c}\) into the quadratic formula?
