Exercise
$2x^2-4x-6=0$
Step-by-step Solution
Learn how to solve quadratic equations problems step by step online. Solve the quadratic equation 2x^2-4x+-6=0. To find the roots of a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c we use the quadratic formula, where in this case a=2, b=-4 and c=-6. Then substitute the values of the coefficients of the equation in the quadratic formula: \displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}. Simplifying. To obtain the two solutions, divide the equation in two equations, one when \pm is positive (+), and another when \pm is negative (-). Subtract the values 4 and -8.
