First, choose the appropriate form and fill in the blanks with the correct num
Then, solve the equation. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.
If there is more than one solution, separate them with commas.

Answer 1

x^2 - 4x - 10 = 0
x^2 - 4x = 10
x^2 - 4x + 4 = 10 + 4
(x - 2)^2 = 14
x - 2 = (+-) sqrt 14
x = 2 (+-) sqrt 14

x = 2 + sqrt 14 and x = 2 - sqrt 14 <== ur solutions
