Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"1x%5E2%2B-7x%2B-44+=+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=%28-7%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-44=225\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=225 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28--7%2B-sqrt%28+225+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-7%29%2Bsqrt%28+225+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+11\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-7%29-sqrt%28+225+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-4\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"1x%5E2%2B-7x%2B-44\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"1x%5E2%2B-7x%2B-44+=+1%28x-11%29%2A%28x--4%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 11, -4.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
\n" ); document.write( "\"graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+1%2Ax%5E2%2B-7%2Ax%2B-44+%29\"
