Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation with variable
Quadratic equation \"ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0\" (in our case \"2x%5E2%2B-27x%2B70+=+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=%28-27%29%5E2-4%2A2%2A70=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--27%2B-sqrt%28+169+%29%29%2F2%5Ca\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%28-27%29%2Bsqrt%28+169+%29%29%2F2%5C2+=+10\"
\n" ); document.write( " \"x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%28-27%29-sqrt%28+169+%29%29%2F2%5C2+=+3.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " Quadratic expression \"2x%5E2%2B-27x%2B70\" can be factored:
\n" ); document.write( " \"2x%5E2%2B-27x%2B70+=+2%28x-10%29%2A%28x-3.5%29\"
\n" ); document.write( " Again, the answer is: 10, 3.5.\n" ); document.write( "Here's your graph:
