Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.4k2−7k+3=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.k=_____ or k=_____
Identify coefficients: Identify the coefficients a, b, and c in the quadratic equation4k2−7k+3=0 by comparing it to the standard form ax2+bx+c=0.a=4, b=−7, c=3
Substitute values into formula: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula, k=2a−b±b2−4ac. k=2⋅4−(−7)±(−7)2−4⋅4⋅3
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression inside the square root and the constants outside the square root.k=87±49−48k=87±1
Calculate possible solutions: Calculate the two possible solutions for k using the simplified square root.k=87+1 or k=87−1k=88 or k=86
Simplify fractions: Simplify the fractions to get the final solutions for k.k=1 or k=86k=1 or k=43
Round non-integer solution: If necessary, round the non-integer solution to the nearest hundredth. k=1 or k=0.75 (since 43 is already in simplest form and does not need rounding)
