The quadratic formula is used to solve a quadratic equation of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable.

Given an equation 25x^2 - 30x + 9 = 0, we can solve it using the quadratic formula as follows:

The quadratic formula is : x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

The values of a,b,c are:

a = 25, b = -30, c = 9

Now, we can substitute the values in the quadratic formula:

x = (-(-30) ± √((-30)^2 - 4(25)(9)))/2(25)

x = (30 ± √(900 - 900)) / 50

x = (30 ± √(0)) / 50

x = (30 ± 0) / 50

x = 30/50

x = 3/5 or x = -3/5

So the solutions of the equation 25x^2 - 30x + 9 = 0 are 3/5 and -3/5.
