Quadratic Formula

This is an equation in which we use to solve or find the roots of a quadratic equation by simply substituting the variables.

To solve this problem, we have to use quadratic formula which is given as

[tex]x=\frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\[/tex]

Let's rearrange this equation

[tex]4x^2+21=-20x\\4x^2+20x+21=0[/tex]

where

  • a = 4
  • b = 20
  • c = 21

Substitute the values and solve

[tex]x=\frac{-b+- \sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}\\x = \frac{-20+-\sqrt{20^2-(4*4*21)} }{2*4} \\x= \frac{-20+-(8)}{8}\\ x = \frac{-3}{2} \\or\\x = -\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

From the calculation above, the roots of the equation are

  • x = - 3/2
  • x = - 1/2
