Solve x^2-19x-6 - ScanMath

Evaluate

x^{2} - 19 x - 6

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

x^{2} - 19 x - 6 = 0

Substitute a= 1,b= - 19 and c= - 6 into the quadratic formula x = \frac{- b \pm b ^{2} - 4 a c}{2 a}

x = \frac{19 \pm ( - 19 ) ^{2} - 4 ( - 6 )}{2}

Simplify the expression

More Steps

x = \frac{19 \pm 385}{2}

Separate the equation into 2 possible cases

x = \frac{19 + 385}{2} x = \frac{19 - 385}{2}

Solution

x_{1} = \frac{19 - 385}{2}, x_{2} = \frac{19 + 385}{2}

Alternative Form

x_{1} \approx - 0.310708, x_{2} \approx 19.310708
