Question

0>x^2 +5x -2

Can someone help me solve for x and show me the steps please

Answer 1

Using the quadratic formula, we have:

[-b +/- √(b^2 - 4ac)] / 2a

a = 1; b = 5; c = -2

[-5 +/- √(5^2 - 4 * 1 * -2)] / 2*1

x > (-5 - √33)/2
x < (-5 + √33)/2

Therefore:

(-5 - √33)/2 < x < (-5 + √33)/2
