Solve x^2+2x-2=0 - ScanMath

Evaluate

x^{2} + 2 x - 2 = 0

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

x = \frac{- 2 \pm 2 ^{2} - 4 ( - 2 )}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = \frac{- 2 \pm 12}{2}

Simplify the radical expression

More Steps

x = \frac{- 2 \pm 2 3}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = \frac{- 2 + 2 3}{2} x = \frac{- 2 - 2 3}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = - 1 + 3 x = \frac{- 2 - 2 3}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = - 1 + 3 x = - 1 - 3

Solution

x_{1} = - 1 - 3, x_{2} = - 1 + 3

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 2.732051, x_{2} \approx 0.732051
