Question
Solve the quadratic equation
Solve using the quadratic formula
Solve by completing the square
Solve using the PQ formula
x1=43−5,x2=43+5
Alternative Form
x1≈0.190983,x2≈1.309017
Evaluate
6x−1=4x2
Swap the sides
4x2=6x−1
Move the expression to the left side
4x2−6x+1=0
Substitute a=4,b=−6 and c=1 into the quadratic formula x=2a−b±b2−4ac
