Algebra I

  • Standard Form: ax² + bx + c = 0
  • Quadratic Formula:
    x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac) )/(2a)

Explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

5m² - 11m - 42 = 0

Step 2: Define variables

a = 5

b = -11

c = -42

Step 3: Find roots

  1. Substitute:
    x=(11\pm√((-11)^2-4(5)(-42)) )/(2(5))
  2. Exponents:
    x=(11\pm√(121-4(5)(-42)) )/(2(5))
  3. Multiply:
    x=(11\pm√(121+840) )/(10)
  4. Add:
    x=(11\pm√(961) )/(10)
  5. Evaluate:
    x=(11\pm31 )/(10)
  6. Evaluate:
    x=-2, (21)/(5)
