\(2x^2 – 7x – 4\) factorises as \((2x + 1)(x – 4)\). \((2x + 1)(x – 4) = 0\). \(2x + 1 = 0 \) means \(x = -\frac{1}{2}\). \(x – 4 = 0\) means \(x = 4 ...
The quadratic formula for a quadratic equation in the form of \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) is: \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\). The first solution is \(\frac{(-6 ...
