Solve m^2-5m-35 - ScanMath

Evaluate

m^{2} - 5 m - 35

To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0

m^{2} - 5 m - 35 = 0

Substitute a= 1,b= - 5 and c= - 35 into the quadratic formula m = \frac{- b \pm b ^{2} - 4 a c}{2 a}

m = \frac{5 \pm ( - 5 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 35 )}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

m = \frac{5 \pm 165}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

m = \frac{5 + 165}{2} m = \frac{5 - 165}{2}

Solution

m_{1} = \frac{5 - 165}{2}, m_{2} = \frac{5 + 165}{2}

Alternative Form

m_{1} \approx - 3.922616, m_{2} \approx 8.922616
