Question
Solve the quadratic equation
Solve using the quadratic formula
Solve by completing the square
Solve using the PQ formula
x1=32−34,x2=32+34
Alternative Form
x1≈−1.276984,x2≈2.610317
Evaluate
10−9x2+4x=−6x2
Move the expression to the left side
10−3x2+4x=0
Rewrite in standard form
−3x2+4x+10=0
Multiply both sides
3x2−4x−10=0
Substitute a=3,b=−4 and c=−10 into the quadratic formula x=2a−b±b2−4ac
x=2×34±(−4)2−4×3(−10)
