Question

Use the quadratic formula to solve x^2-5x-2=0 HELP PLEASE!

Answer 1

I rounded to the nearest hundredth if that's okay.

Explanation:

5.37,-0.37

Answer 2

`x=(-5+√(33) )/(2)` and
`x=(-5-√(33) )/(2)`

Explanation:

x = [-b±√(b²-4ac)]/2a

x = [-(-5)±√((-5)²-4(1)(-2))]/2(1)

x = [5±√(25+8)]/2

x= [-5±√(33)]/2

Therefore:

`x=(-5+√(33) )/(2)` and
`x=(-5-√(33) )/(2)`
