Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.\newline3r27r+2=03r^2 - 7r + 2 = 0\newlineWrite your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.\newliner=r = _____ or r=r = _____
  1. Write Quadratic Formula: Write down the quadratic formula.\newlineThe quadratic formula is used to solve equations of the form ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0. The formula is:\newliner=b±b24ac2ar = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
  2. Identify Coefficients: Identify the coefficients aa, bb, and cc in the quadratic equation 3r27r+2=03r^2 − 7r + 2 = 0. Here, a=3a = 3, b=7b = -7, and c=2c = 2.
  3. Substitute into Formula: Substitute the coefficients into the quadratic formula.\newliner=(7)±(7)243223r = \frac{-(-7) \pm \sqrt{(-7)^2 - 4 \cdot 3 \cdot 2}}{2 \cdot 3}\newliner=7±49246r = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{49 - 24}}{6}\newliner=7±256r = \frac{7 \pm \sqrt{25}}{6}
  4. Simplify Equation: Simplify the square root and the equation.\newliner=7±56r = \frac{7 \pm 5}{6}\newlineThis gives us two possible solutions for rr:\newliner=7+56r = \frac{7 + 5}{6} or r=756r = \frac{7 - 5}{6}\newliner=126r = \frac{12}{6} or r=26r = \frac{2}{6}
  5. Find Solutions: Simplify the fractions to find the solutions for rr.r=2r = 2 or r=13r = \frac{1}{3}
