y 12 x2 5x 3SolutionY x22 5x 3 Applying quadratic root
y = 1/2 x^2 + 5x - 3
Solution
Y = x^2/2 + 5x -3
Applying quadratic root formula to find the roots of the equation:
y= ax^2+bx +c
x = ( -b +/- sqrt(b^2 - 4ac) )/2a
compaing the given equation with standard equation we get:
a = 1/2 ; b= 5 ; c =- 3
x = ( -5 +/- sqrt( 25 +4*3/2 )/2*(1/2)
= ( -5 + /- sqrt (31)/1
x= -5 + sqrt31
x = -5 - sqrt31
These are two roots of the equation
