Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.5g2−7g+1=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.g=_____ or g=_____
Identify values: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation5g2−7g+1=0. The quadratic equation is in the form ag2+bg+c=0, so by comparison: a=5b=−7c=1
Substitute values into formula: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula to find g. The quadratic formula is g=2a−b±b2−4ac. Substituting the values we get: g=2⋅5−(−7)±(−7)2−4⋅5⋅1
Simplify terms and constants: Simplify the terms under the square root and the constants outside the square root.g=107±49−20g=107±29
Identify possible values: Identify the two possible values for g.g=107+29 or g=107−29
Round values if necessary: If necessary, round the values of g to the nearest hundredth.g≈(7+5.39)/10 or g≈(7−5.39)/10g≈12.39/10 or g≈1.61/10g≈1.24 or g≈0.16
