Smaller solution (3 decimals)???
Larger solution (3 decimals)??? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the solutions of 2x^2 + 5x = 17 and check graphically.
---------
2x^2+5x-17 = 0
----
Use Quadratic Formula:
x = [-5 +- sqrt(25-4*2*-17)]/4
------
x = [-5 +- sqrt(136)]/4
------
x = [-5 +- 2sqrt(34)]/4
---
x = (-5/4)+(1/2)sqrt(34)
OR
x = (-5/4)-(1/2)sqrt(34)
------------
