what are the roots of the equation x^2+6x-9=0
Answer:
The roots of the quadratic equation are
\(x=-3+3\sqrt{2}\)
\(x=-3-3\sqrt{2}\)
Step-by-step explanation:
we have
\(x^{2} +6x-9=0\)
we know that
The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form \(ax^{2} +bx+c=0\) is equal to
\(x=\frac{-b(+/-)\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}\)
in this problem we have
\(x^{2} +6x-9=0\)
so
\(a=1\\b=6\\c=-9\)
substitute in the formula
\(x=\frac{-6(+/-)\sqrt{6^{2}-4(1)(-9)}} {2(1)}\)
\(x=\frac{-6(+/-)\sqrt{72}} {2}\)
\(x=\frac{-6(+/-)6\sqrt{2}} {2}\)
\(x=-3(+/-)3\sqrt{2}\)
\(x=-3(+)3\sqrt{2}\)
\(x=-3(-)3\sqrt{2}\)
Given equation is :
\(x^{2}+6x-9=0\)
We will solve this quadratic equation, using the formula:
\(x1,2=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\) and
\(x1,2=\frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}\)
Now, putting a=1 , b=6 and c =-9 we get
\(x=\frac{-6+\sqrt{6^{2}-4*1(-9)}}{2*1}\) and
\(x=\frac{-6-\sqrt{6^{2}-4*1(-9)}}{2*1}\)
Final solutions are: \(x=3(\sqrt{2}-1)\) and
\(x=-3(\sqrt{2}+1)\)
