Solve using the quadratic formula
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:
For these solutions to exist, the discriminantshould not be a negative number.
First, we need to compute the discriminant: .
Discriminant d=100 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions:.
Quadratic expressioncan be factored:
Again, the answer is: 2, -8. Here's your graph:
