Identify coefficients: To solve the quadratic equation4z2+9z+3=0 using the quadratic formula, we first identify the coefficients a, b, and c from the standard form of a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0. In this case, a=4, b=9, and c=3.
Apply quadratic formula: The quadratic formula is given by z=2a−b±b2−4ac. We will substitute the values of a, b, and c into this formula to find the solutions for z.
Calculate discriminant: First, calculate the discriminant, which is the part under the square root in the quadratic formula: b2−4ac. This is 92−4(4)(3)=81−48=33.
Substitute values: Now, we can substitute the values into the quadratic formula: z=2⋅4−9±33.
Simplify expression: Simplify the expression: z=8−9±33. This gives us two solutions, one for the plus sign and one for the minus sign.
Solution for plus sign: For the plus sign: z=8−9+33. This cannot be simplified to an integer or a proper fraction, so we will leave it as is or calculate the decimal value if needed.
Solution for minus sign: For the minus sign: z=8−9−33. Similarly, this cannot be simplified to an integer or a proper fraction, so we will leave it as is or calculate the decimal value if needed.
