Question 762756: Can someone please help me solve this equation? Thank You!!!!
Use the quadratic formula to find any x intercept on the graph of the equation
y=x^2-6x-4
Type all x intercepts below ,select the correct choice below and dill in any answer boxes within your choice
A) x=_____ ( simplify your answer.Type exact answer, using radicals as needed. Use comma to separate answers as needed)
B) there is no solution

There is no graph to chart so I'm confused.

Use the quadratic formula to find any x intercept on the graph of the equation
y=x^2-6x-4
--------
Solve:: x^2 - 6x -4 = 0
----
Use the Quadratic formula:
x = [6 +- sqrt(36-4*-4)]/2
-------
x = [6 +- sqrt(52)]/2
----
x = [6 +- 2sqrt(13)]/2
---
x = 3 + sqrt(13) or x = 3-sqrt(13)
