Question

Haley substituted the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula below. x = StartFraction negative (negative 10) plus or minus StartRoot (negative 10) squared minus 4 (7)(negative 2) EndRoot Over 2(7) EndFraction What was Haley’s function in standard form? f(x) = x2 + x +

Answer 1

Answer:

What was Haley’s function in standard form?

f(x) = 7 x2 + -10 x + -2

Answer 2

Where does that StartFraction ... mess come from? -- I've seen it in other questions.

$x = \dfrac{- -10 \pm \sqrt{(-10)^2 - 4(7)(-2)}}{2(7)}$

Comparing that to the general quadratic formula

$x = \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

we see b=-10 (agreeing in both places) a=7 (two places), c=-2

Answer: 7x² - 10x - 2 = 0
