Question 204725: solve by using quadratic formula (((6x2+3x-18=0)))
my answer is x=-2 3/2
-b+- sq root of b^2-4ac/2a
a=6
b=3
c=18
so -3+-sqrt(9-4(6)l-18/12
-3t-sqrt9441)/12
-3+-21/12 and x=-3-21/12
x=-3+21/12 and x=-3-21/12
x=18/12=3/2 and x=-2
this is how I came up with this answer is this right?

6x%5E2%2B3x-18=0
x%5E2+%2B+0.5x+-+3+=+0
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE quadratic equation (work shown, graph etc)
Quadratic equation ax%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc=0 (in our case 1x%5E2%2B0.5x%2B-3+=+0) has the following solutons:

x%5B12%5D+=+%28b%2B-sqrt%28+b%5E2-4ac+%29%29%2F2%5Ca

For these solutions to exist, the discriminant b%5E2-4ac should not be a negative number.

First, we need to compute the discriminant b%5E2-4ac: b%5E2-4ac=%280.5%29%5E2-4%2A1%2A-3=12.25.

Discriminant d=12.25 is greater than zero. That means that there are two solutions: +x%5B12%5D+=+%28-0.5%2B-sqrt%28+12.25+%29%29%2F2%5Ca.

x%5B1%5D+=+%28-%280.5%29%2Bsqrt%28+12.25+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+1.5
x%5B2%5D+=+%28-%280.5%29-sqrt%28+12.25+%29%29%2F2%5C1+=+-2

Quadratic expression 1x%5E2%2B0.5x%2B-3 can be factored:
1x%5E2%2B0.5x%2B-3+=+%28x-1.5%29%2A%28x--2%29
Again, the answer is: 1.5, -2. Here's your graph:
graph%28+500%2C+500%2C+-10%2C+10%2C+-20%2C+20%2C+1%2Ax%5E2%2B0.5%2Ax%2B-3+%29

-------------------
Looks right.
