Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"1x%5E2%2B6x%2B-185+=+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=%286%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-185=776\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=776 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-6%2B-sqrt%28+776+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%286%29%2Bsqrt%28+776+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+10.9283882771841\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%286%29-sqrt%28+776+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-16.9283882771841\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"1x%5E2%2B6x%2B-185\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"1x%5E2%2B6x%2B-185+=+%28x-10.9283882771841%29%2A%28x--16.9283882771841%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 10.9283882771841, -16.9283882771841.\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%2B6%2Ax%2B-185+%29\"
