(-10x+11)+(4x^2+1/2x-14)
-10x+11+4x^2+x/2-14
4x^2-10x+x/2+11-14
4x^2-9.5x-3
x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+
x=(9.5+-sqrt[-9.5^2-4*4*-3])/2*4
x=(9.5+-sqrt[90.25+48])/8
x=(9.5+-sqrt[138.25])/8
x=(9.5+-11.758)/8
x=(9.5+11.758)/8
x=21.258/8
x=2.657 ans
x=(9.5-11.758)/8
x=-2.258/8
x=-.282 ans.

If you add the like terms you get:
4x%5E2+-9.5x+-3
or
4x%5E2+-%2819%2F2%29x+-3
(Note: The Quadratic formula applies only to equations. This is just an expression so simplifying is all you can do.)
