Answer 1

Answer: 2

Explanation:

Answer 2

below

Explanation:

`x^(2) -7x + 3`

this is a quadratic equation so we will use the quadratic formula to solve it

• a = 1
• b = -7
• c = 3

The quadratic formula:

• b² - 4ac = (-7)²-4*1*3 = 37
• 37 is a positive number so the equation has two solutions

`x = (-b + / - √(37) )/(2a)` ⇒
`x = (7 + / - √(37) )/(2)`

⇒
`\left \{ {{x=0.45} \atop {x=6.54}} \right.`

The solutions are 2 real numbers
