solve this equation with the quadratic formula.
\n" ); document.write( "m^2+12m+5 = 0
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Form: m = [-b +- sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/(2a)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Your Problem:
\n" ); document.write( "m = [-12 +- sqrt(144 - 4*1*5)]/(2)
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "m = [-12 +- sqrt(124)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "m = [-12 +- sqrt(4*31)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "m = [-12 +- 2sqrt(31)]/2
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "m = -6 +- sqrt(31)
\n" ); document.write( "==========================
