Answer 1

x = -0.17 and x = -5.83

Explanation:

We are asked to solve the quadratic equation

`x^2+6\,x+1=0`

We use the quadratic formula using a = 1, b = 6 and c = 1

for a general quadratic equation of the form:
`ax^2+bx+c=0`

Then, the solutions are given by;

`x=(-6+/-√(36-4\,(1)\,(1)) )/(2) =(-6+/-√(32) )/(2)`

which produces the two following answers (rounded to two decimals):

x = -0.17 and x = -5.83
