Solve each equation in Exercises 65–74 using the quadratic formula.
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the coefficients in the quadratic equation \(3x^2 - 3x - 4 = 0\). Here, \(a = 3\), \(b = -3\), and \(c = -4\).
Recall the quadratic formula: \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\).
Calculate the discriminant \(\Delta = b^2 - 4ac\) by substituting the values: \(\Delta = (-3)^2 - 4(3)(-4)\).
Substitute \(a\), \(b\), and the discriminant \(\Delta\) into the quadratic formula: \(x = \frac{-(-3) \pm \sqrt{\Delta}}{2(3)}\).
Simplify the expression under the square root and the entire fraction to express the two possible solutions for \(x\).

Quadratic Equation
A quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial equation in the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and a ≠ 0. It represents a parabola when graphed and can have zero, one, or two real solutions depending on the discriminant.

Introduction to Quadratic Equations
Quadratic Formula
The quadratic formula x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / (2a) provides the solutions to any quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0. It uses the coefficients a, b, and c to find the roots, including complex solutions when the discriminant is negative.

Discriminant
The discriminant, given by b² - 4ac, determines the nature of the roots of a quadratic equation. If positive, there are two distinct real roots; if zero, one real root; and if negative, two complex conjugate roots.
