Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable

Quadratic equation (in our case ) has the following solutons:

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant : .

Discriminant d=144 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: .

Quadratic expression can be factored:

Again, the answer is: 5, -7. Here's your graph:

Let's use the quadratic formula to solve for x:

Starting with the general quadratic

the general solution using the quadratic equation is:

So lets solve ( notice , , and )

Plug in a=1, b=2, and c=-35

Square 2 to get 4

Multiply to get

Combine like terms in the radicand (everything under the square root)

Simplify the square root (note: If you need help with simplifying the square root, check out this solver)

Multiply 2 and 1 to get 2

So now the expression breaks down into two parts

or

Lets look at the first part:

Add the terms in the numerator
Divide

So one answer is

Now lets look at the second part:

Subtract the terms in the numerator
Divide

So another answer is

So our solutions are:
or

Notice when we graph , we get:

and we can see that the roots are and . This verifies our answer
