Question

Im pulling my hair out with this problem my calculator simplified it to
`(1+/-√(14))/(10)`

What am i doing wrong?? :')

Answer 1

`~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{quadratic formula} \\\\ 0=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{3}x^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+2}x\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-5} \qquad \qquad x= \cfrac{ - b \pm \sqrt { b^2 -4 a c}}{2 a} \\\\\\ x= \cfrac{ - (2) \pm \sqrt { (2)^2 -4(3)(-5)}}{2(3)} \implies x = \cfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt { 4 +60}}{ 6 } \\\\\\ x= \cfrac{ -2 \pm \sqrt { 64 }}{ 6 }\implies x=\cfrac{ -2 \pm 8}{ 6 }\implies x= \begin{cases} ~~ 1\\ -(5)/(3) \end{cases}`

Answer 2

-5/3 and -1
