Question
Find the roots of the quadratic equation by using the quadratic formula in the following:
–x2 + 7x – 10 = 0
Advertisements
Solution
The quadratic formula for finding the roots of quadratic equation
ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0 is given by,
x = `(-b +- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac))/(2a)`
∴ x = `(-7 +- sqrt((-7)^2 - 4(-1)(-10)))/(2(-1))`
= `(-7 +- sqrt(9))/(-2)`
= `(7 +- 3)/2`
= 5, 2
