Question

Solve -3x^2-18x-35=0

Answer 1

Use the quadratic equation to solve this

Remember that quadratic functions are set up like so:

`ax^(2) +bx +c = 0`

That means that in this equation...

a = -3

b = -18

c = -35

^^^Plug these numbers into the quadratic equation and solve...

`\frac{18+/-\sqrt{(-18)^(2)-4(-3)(-35)}}{2(-3)}`

`(18 +/-√(324+(-420)))/(-6)`

`(18+/-√(-96) )/(-6)`

`(18+/4i√(6) )/(-6)`

`(-9+/-2i√(6) )/(3)`

Keep in mind that +/- is ±

`(-9+2i√(6) )/(3)`

`(-9-2i√(6) )/(3)`

^^^Exact answers

Hope this helped!
