Question
Solve the quadratic equation
Solve using the quadratic formula
Solve by completing the square
Solve using the PQ formula
x1=3−78,x2=3+78
Alternative Form
x1≈−5.831761,x2≈11.831761
Evaluate
4x2−24x=276
Move the expression to the left side
4x2−24x−276=0
Substitute a=4,b=−24 and c=−276 into the quadratic formula x=2a−b±b2−4ac
x=2×424±(−24)2−4×4(−276)
Simplify the expression
