Hi

Solving using the quadratic formula:

2x^2-11x-2=0

x+=+%28-b+%2B-+sqrt%28+b%5E2-4%2Aa%2Ac+%29%29%2F%282%2Aa%29+ 

x+=+%2811+%2B-+sqrt%28137+%29%29%2F%284%29+

a=2, b=-11, c=-2
--------
(-b+-sqrtb^2-4ac)/2a
(11+-sqrt 121+16)/4
(11+-11.7)/4
-.7/4=-0.175
22.7/4=5.675
y int =-2
axis of symetry= 2.75

a=2 b=-11 c=-2
roots -b +- sqroot(b^2-4ac)/2a -(-11) +- Sq root(121-4*2*(-2)/2*2
11 +-sq root(121+16)/4
(11 +- 11.61)/4
21.61/4 or -.61/4
5.42 0r -.15
