Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"-16x%5E2%2B62x%2B4+=+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=%2862%29%5E2-4%2A-16%2A4=4100\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Discriminant d=4100 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: \"+x%5B12%5D+=+%28-62%2B-sqrt%28+4100+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%2862%29%2Bsqrt%28+4100+%29%29%2F2%5C-16+=+-0.0634763241977652\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%2862%29-sqrt%28+4100+%29%29%2F2%5C-16+=+3.93847632419777\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"-16x%5E2%2B62x%2B4\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"-16x%5E2%2B62x%2B4+=+-16%28x--0.0634763241977652%29%2A%28x-3.93847632419777%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: -0.0634763241977652, 3.93847632419777.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
