Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.2s2−9s+2=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.s=_____ or s=_____
Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients a, b, and c in the quadratic equation2s2−9s+2=0.a=2, b=−9, c=2
Write quadratic formula: Write down the quadratic formula: s=2a−b±b2−4ac.
Substitute values: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula.s=2⋅2−(−9)±(−9)2−4⋅2⋅2s=49±81−16
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression under the square root and the denominator. s=49±65
Calculate solutions: Calculate the two possible solutions for s.s=49+65 or s=49−65
Round values: Round the values of s to the nearest hundredth, if required.s≈(9+8.06)/4 or s≈(9−8.06)/4s≈17.06/4 or s≈0.94/4s≈4.27 or s≈0.24
