Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"aw%5E2%2Bbw%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"4w%5E2%2B3w%2B-10+=+0\") has the following solutons:
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"w%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=%283%29%5E2-4%2A4%2A-10=169\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=169 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-3%2B-sqrt%28+169+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"w%5B1%5D+=+%28-%283%29%2Bsqrt%28+169+%29%29%2F2%5C4+=+1.25\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"w%5B2%5D+=+%28-%283%29-sqrt%28+169+%29%29%2F2%5C4+=+-2\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"4w%5E2%2B3w%2B-10\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"4w%5E2%2B3w%2B-10+=+4%28w-1.25%29%2A%28w--2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 1.25, -2.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
