Answer:

Explanation:

In as much as I might give a warning on not to doubt oneself, I also need to put out what one should take note of when solving quadratic problems.

Using the general formula, it's of utmost importance to not mix the variables together. Remember, making "a", "b" and "b", "a" will lead to an entirely different answer, which is most likely wrong anyway.

It's important to take note of the signs too. Remember, the formula say,

-b ± √(b² - 4ac) / 2a

The first b is negative, and that means a negative value will turn positive there. These are very trivial steps, but they can also make or mar our efforts in getting the correct answer
