You can put this solution on YOUR website!
9x%5E2-6x%2B37=0
Use the quadratic solver: x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
where
a = 9
b = -6
c = 37
Now:
x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+6%5E2-4%2A9%2A37+%29%29%2F%282%2A9%29+
x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+36-1332+%29%29%2F18+
x+=+%286+%2B-+sqrt%28+-1296+%29%29%2F18+
x+=+%286+%2B-+36sqrt%28+-1+%29%29%2F18+
x+=+1%2F3+%2B-+2i+
where "i" represents the imaginary number i=sqrt%28-1%29
I hope this helps
P.S. I am trying to start up my own homework help website. I would be extremely grateful if you would e-mail me some feedback on the help you received to adam.chapman@student.manchester.ac.uk
