Question 901712
i believe you did it right but i don't believe you got the right answer.


my calculations show that the roots are:


x = -2.376 or x = .415 rounded to 3 decimal places.


a = 1.03
b = 2.02
c = -1.015


x = (-b plus or minus sqrt(b^2-4ac)) / 2a which becomes:


x = (-2.02 plus or minus sqrt(8.2622)) / 2.06 which becomes:


x = (- 2.02 plus or minus 2.8744) / 2.06 which becomes:


x = .415 or x = -2.376 which agrees with what i showed you up above.


i also graphed the equation.


that graph is shown below:
