Algebra.Com's Answer #117943 by stanbon(75887)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I'm having trouble with quadratic equations; here is a problem that I cannot seem to solve: 9x^2+9x+2=0 \n" ); document.write( "Note: I put a \"+\" in place of the \"=\". \n" ); document.write( "--------------- \n" ); document.write( "Use the quadratic formula to get: \n" ); document.write( "x = [-9 +- sqrt(81-4*9*2)]/[2*9]\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = [-9 +- sqrt(9)]/18\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = [-9 +- 3] /18\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = -12/18 or x = -6/18 \n" ); document.write( "x = -2/3 or x = -1/3 \n" ); document.write( "----------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Using factoring: \n" ); document.write( "9x^2+9x+2=0 \n" ); document.write( "9x^2 + 3x + 6x + 2 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "3x(3x+1) + 2(3x+1) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "(3x+1)(3x+2) = 0 \n" ); document.write( "x = -1/3 or x = -2/3 \n" ); document.write( "========================== \n" ); document.write( "Cheers, \n" ); document.write( "Stan H. \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
