You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The original quadratic equation is \"+3.4%2Ax%5E2-8.7%2Ax-17.1=0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Multiply 10 on both sides, you should get \"+34%2Ax%5E2-87%2Ax-171=0+\"
\n" ); document.write( "Either you factor or use the quadratic formula is up to you. I always trust the quadratic equation even though it is longer.
\n" ); document.write( "Quadratic formula: \"x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+\"
\n" ); document.write( "a= 34
\n" ); document.write( "b= -87
\n" ); document.write( "c= -171
\n" ); document.write( "Plug in the values for the variables in the quadratic formula!
\n" ); document.write( "\"x+=+%28-%28-87%29+%2B-+sqrt%28+%28-87%29%5E2-4%2A34%2A-171+%29%29%2F%282%2A34%29+\"
