Use the quadratic formula to solve and round to the nearest hundredth. what are the two answers? the equation is 3x squared + 13x + 5 = 0

Respuesta :

For this case we have the following quadratic equation:

[tex]3x ^ 2 + 13x + 5 = 0[/tex]

Where:

[tex]a = 3\\b = 13\\c = 5[/tex]

Applying the quadratic formula:

[tex]x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}[/tex]

Substituting the values:

[tex]x = \frac {-13 \pm \sqrt {13 ^ 2-4 (3) (5)}} {2 (3)}\\x = \frac {-13 \pm \sqrt {169-60}} {6}\\x = \frac {-13 \pm \sqrt {109}} {6}[/tex]

Thus, we have two roots:

[tex]x_ {1} = \frac {-13- \sqrt {109}} {6} = - 3.91\\x_ {2} = \frac {-13+ \sqrt {109}} {6} -0.43[/tex]

Answer:

[tex]x_ {1} = - 3.91\\x_ {2} = - 0.43[/tex]
