Question 242128
how to factor -4.9x^2+24x+2=0
---------------
Use the quadratic formula:
---
x = [-24 +- sqrt(24^2 - 4*-4.9*2)]/(-9.8)
---
x = [-24 +- sqrt(615.2)]/-9.8
---
x = [-24 +- 24.803]/-9.8
---
x = -0.803/-9.8 or x = -48/-9.8
------------------------------------
x = 0.08196 or x = 4.898
------
(x-0.08196)(x-4.898)
