Question 107047: i need help solving these quadratic equations using the quadratic formula.
2x^2 - 5x = 3
3x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0
i am trying to solve for x
2(x-5)^2 = 3
and this queston also i have been trying to figure these out fo an hour.
x^2 + 4x + 4 = 7
Answer by Annabelle1(69) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
lets start with 2x^2 - 5x = 3
we have to bring everything together to one side of the equals sign. we get
2x^2 - 5x -3=0
the coeffiecient of x^2 (2) is our a (a=2)
the coeffiecient of x (-5) is our b (b=-5)
the constant is -3 (c=-3)
the quadratic formula is
AMP Parsing Error of [x=((5 +- sqrt(49))/4 ]: Invalid expression. Closing bracket expected at /home/ichudov/project_locations/algebra.com/templates/Algebra/Expression.pm line 187. .

x=6.75 or x= 3.25

The next one is 3x^2 - 2x + 1 = 0
here a=3 b= -2 and c=1

this one has a negative under the square root sign so there is no solution ( the graph never crosses the x axis)

Next....
2(x-5)^2 = 3
expand this out first
we get

a=2 b=-20 c=47

you simplify from here
Hope these have helped
