Algebra.Com's Answer #594064 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! I will edit this problem to be x^2-5x+20=0, since that can be graphed and roots may be found. The equation as written can only be substituted for y or for x. \n" ); document.write( "Large positive constant suggests complex roots\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "quadratic formula \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x= (1/2) {5 +/- sqrt (25-80)} sqrt = -55 = i sqrt(55)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x= (1/2) * (5 +/- i sqrt (55) ) Graph will show no crossing of x-axix, parabola, with vertex at x=(5/2)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " |
