NEED HELP ASAP PLZ!!!!!! If the quadratic formula is used to find the solution set of 3x 2 + 4x - 2 = 0, what are the solutions?

Respuesta :

i think the answer is (-2-\sqrt(10))/(3) 
i know that looks wierd...sorry...i hope this helps

Answer:

The solution of the given equation are [tex]x=\frac{-2-\sqrt{10}}{3}[/tex] and [tex]x=\frac{-2+\sqrt{10}}{3}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

If a quadratic equation is [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex], then the quadratic formula is

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

The given quadratic equation is

[tex]3x^2+4x-2=0[/tex]

Here, [tex]a=3,b=4,c=-2[/tex]

Using quadratic formula, we get

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{4^2-4(3)(-2)}}{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm \sqrt{40}}{6}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4\pm 2\sqrt{10}}{6}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-2\pm \sqrt{10}}{3}[/tex]

Therefore the solution of the given equation are [tex]x=\frac{-2-\sqrt{10}}{3}[/tex] and [tex]x=\frac{-2+\sqrt{10}}{3}[/tex].
