Solving Quadratic Equations using Quadratic Formula
If
a
x
2
+
b
x
+
c
= 0, then
x
=
-b
±
b
2
-
4ac
2a
So, if
9
x
2
+
8
x
-
1
= 0, then
x
=
-
(
8
)
±
(
8
)
2
-
(
4
)
(
9
)
(
-1
)
(
2
)
(
9
)
or,
x
=
-8
±
64
+
36
18
or,
x
=
-8
±
100
18
or,
x
=
-8
±
10
18
or,
x
=
2
18
or,
x
=
-18
18
or,
x
=
1
9
or,
x
=
-1
