PROBLEM: 2m^2-m-15=0
\n" ); document.write( "(1)FIND COEFFICIENTS A,B,C
\n" ); document.write( "A=2,B=-1,C=-15===============================QUADRATIC FORMULA
\n" ); document.write( "(2)PLUG IN YOUR VALUES FOR A,B,C INTO QUADRATIC FORMULA
\n" ); document.write( "x1,2,=-b±√b^2-4ac/2a
\n" ); document.write( "-(-1)±√(-1)^2-4*2*(-15)/2*2===FACTORING
\n" ); document.write( "(3)SIMPLIFY EXPRESSION UNDER SQUARE ROOT
\n" ); document.write( "X1,2,=1±√121/4==========DISCRIMINANT(121)
\n" ); document.write( "X1=1+√121/4=3
