Success!
(Solution 1, Solution 2) = (5, -6)
↓Steps Explained:↓
Solve the quadratic:
x2+x-30
Set up the a, b, and c values:
a = 1, b = 1, c = -30
Quadratic Formula
| x = | -b ± √b2 - 4ac |
| 2a |
Calculate -b
-b = -(1)
-b = -1
Calculate the discriminant Δ
Δ = b2 - 4ac:
Δ = 12 - 4 x 1 x -30
Δ = 1 - -120
Δ = 121 <--- Discriminant
Since Δ > 0, we expect two real roots.
Take the square root of Δ
√Δ = √(121)
√Δ = 11
-b + Δ:
Numerator 1 = -b + √Δ
Numerator 1 = -1 + 11
Numerator 1 = 10
-b - Δ:
Numerator 2 = -b - √Δ
Numerator 2 = -1 - 11
Numerator 2 = -12
Calculate 2a
Denominator = 2 * a
Denominator = 2 * 1
Denominator = 2
Find Solutions
| Solution 1 = | Numerator 1 |
| Denominator |
Solution 1 = 5
Solution 2
| Solution 2 = | Numerator 2 |
| Denominator |
Solution 2 = -6
Solution Set
