Question 147887
Give the exact and approximate solutions of three decimal places. 
x^2+7x-3 
exact=
x = [-7 +- sqrt(49 - 4*1*-3)]/2
x = [-7 +- sqrt(61)]/2
x = (-7 + sqrt(61)]/2 or x = (-7-sqrt(61)]/2
---------------------------------------------------- 
approximate 
x = (-7 + 7.8102)/2 = 0.405.. or x = (-7-7.8102)/2 = -7.405..
