Question

Solve the quadratic equation 2x^2 + 5x – 1 = 0 using the quadratic formula

Answer 1

a=2, b=5, c=-1

the discriminant is b^2-4ac = (5)^2 - 4(2)(-1) = 25 +8 = 33,

a positive, non-perfect square, so the equation shall have

2 real but irrational solutions containing square roots..

sqrt(33)= sqrt(3*11) cannot be reduced any further, so JUST LEAVE IT!

quadratic formula says: [-B +or- sqrt(discriminant)] / (2a)

solutions are [-5 +or- sqrt(33)]/4
