Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"4x%5E2%2B9x%2B-1+=+0\") has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " For these solutions to exist, the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\" should not be a negative number.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " First, we need to compute the discriminant \"b%5E2-4ac\": \"b%5E2-4ac=%289%29%5E2-4%2A4%2A-1=97\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=97 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-9%2B-sqrt%28+97+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%289%29%2Bsqrt%28+97+%29%29%2F2%5C4+=+0.106107225224513\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%289%29-sqrt%28+97+%29%29%2F2%5C4+=+-2.35610722522451\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"4x%5E2%2B9x%2B-1\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"4x%5E2%2B9x%2B-1+=+4%28x-0.106107225224513%29%2A%28x--2.35610722522451%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 0.106107225224513, -2.35610722522451.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
