Question 79701
The standard equation is in the form of ax^2+bx+c=0.
The Quadratic equation below allows you to solve any equation of this form.

{{{x = (-b +- sqrt( b^2-4*a*c ))/(2*a) }}} 

M^2+4M-4=29
M^2+4M-4-29=0
M^2+4M-33
USING THE QUADRATIC EQUATION WE GET
X=(-4+-SQRT[4^2-4*1*-33])/2*1
X=(-4+-SQRT[16+132])/2
X=(-4+-SQRT148)/2
X=(-4+-12.1655)/2
X=(-4+12.1655)/2
X=8.1655/2
X=34.083 ANSWER.
X=(-4-12.1655)/2
X=-16.1655/2
X=-8.083 ANSWER.
