66x^2+67x+10=0using the quadratic equation we get:

x=(-67+-sqrt[67^2-4*66*10])/2*66
x=(-67+-sqrt[4489-2640])/132
x=(-67+-sqrt[1849])/132
x=(-67+-43)/132
x=(-67+43)/132
x=24/132
x=.18181818 answer.
x=(-67-43)/132
x=110/132
x=.833333 answer.

This one looks intimidating, when you apply the quadratic formula. Actually, it's not so bad, once you get past the !

a=66, b=67, c=10

or
or

Of course, this means that the problem could have been solved by factoring!!

Another really interesting problem!!

66x^2 + 67x + 10 =0
Solve followig the square root method or the quadratic formula.
----------
If you look at the discriminant you get b^2-4ac = 1849
Then sqrt 1849 = 43
Then (-67+-43)/[2*66]
x = -2/11 or x = -5/6
