Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.6h2−9h+3=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.h=_____ or h=_____
Identify values: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equation6h2−9h+3=0. The quadratic equation is in the form ah2+bh+c=0, so by comparison: a=6b=−9c=3
Substitute into formula: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula to find h. The quadratic formula is h=2a−b±b2−4ac. So we have: h=2⋅6−(−9)±(−9)2−4⋅6⋅3
Calculate discriminant: Simplify the terms inside the square root and calculate the discriminant b2−4ac.(−9)2−4⋅6⋅3=81−72=9
Simplify formula: Continue simplifying the quadratic formula with the calculated discriminant.h=129±9h=129±3
Find possible values: Find the two possible values for h.h=12(9+3) or h=12(9−3)h=1212 or h=126h=1 or h=21
Write final answers: Simplify the fractions and write the final answers.h=1 or h=21Since 21 is already in simplest form, we do not need to round to the nearest hundredth.
