Question

Fill in the quadratic formula below using the equation above.

Answer 1

Given a quadratic equation with the following form

`y=ax^2+bx+c`

The quadratic equation is

`x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt[]{b^2-4ac}}{2a}`

The equation given is

`y=x^2-5x-14`

Our coefficients are

`\begin{gathered} a=1 \\ b=-5 \\ c=-14 \end{gathered}`

Rewritting the quadratic formula using those values, we have:

`x=\frac{-(-5)\pm\sqrt[]{(-5)^2-4(1)(-14)}}{2(1)}`
