Question 897847

The Quadratic Formula gives us the solutions of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0.(Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) 
(a) State the Quadratic Formula : 
x =
(b) In the equation1 
2 
x2 − x − 6 = 0, a =
, b = 
, and c =
So the solution of the equation is x  =  5


(a)
<pre>
Quadratic formula: {{{x = (- b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4*a*c))/(2*a)}}}
</pre>
(b)
<pre>
If the equation is: {{{x^2 - x - 6 = 0}}}? Then:
a =   1
b = - 1
c = - 6

Solution would then be: {{{highlight_green(x = 3)}}}, or {{{highlight_green(x = - 2)}}}
