Week 6 – Math 11 – Solving Trinomials

In this week we learned how to balance trinomials, to do this we use this formula,

X= \frac{-B \sqrt{(b)^{2}-4(a)(c)}}{2(a)}

so lets say we have this as our equation,
3X^{2} + 8X + 24=0

first we must identify A, B and C,
3 is A
8 is B
24 is C

So using these values we must replace them in the spots of the formula with the matching letters,
X= \frac{-8 \sqrt{(8)^{2}-4(3)(24)}}{2(3)}

Now we will evaluate the equation,
X= \frac{-8 \sqrt{64-288}}{6}
then,
X= \frac{-8 \sqrt{-224}}{6}

after you get to this point we must find a common factor to divide everything with,
X= \frac{-8 \sqrt{-224}}{6} / \frac{2}{2}

Giving us,
X= \frac{-4 \sqrt{-56}}{3}

simplified again,
X= \frac{-4 -2\sqrt{14}}{3}

and that’s the final answer!

Fear Photo

I think I could fix this by either not caring about the test and what I get and just giving it my all, or I could be extremely prepared and get ready to ace it.
