Question
Solve the quadratic equation
Solve using the quadratic formula
Solve by completing the square
Solve using the PQ formula
x1=445−3217,x2=445+3217
Alternative Form
x1≈0.20181,x2≈22.29819
Evaluate
3x×15−9=2x2
Multiply the terms
45x−9=2x2
Swap the sides
2x2=45x−9
Move the expression to the left side
2x2−45x+9=0
Substitute a=2,b=−45 and c=9 into the quadratic formula x=2a−b±b2−4ac
x=2×245±(−45)2−4×2×9
Simplify the expression
x=445±(−45)2−4×2×9
