Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.7s2+2s−3=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.s=_____ or s=_____
Substitute Values: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula, s=2a−b±b2−4ac.s=2(7)−(2)±(2)2−4(7)(−3)
Calculate Discriminant: Calculate the discriminant, which is the part under the square root in the quadratic formula: b2−4ac.Discriminant = (2)2−4(7)(−3)=4+84=88
Calculate Square Root: Calculate the square root of the discriminant. 88≈9.38 (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
Calculate Solutions: Calculate the two possible solutions for s using the quadratic formula.s=2(7)−(2)±9.38s=14−2+9.38 or s=14−2−9.38s≈147.38 or s≈14−11.38
Simplify and Round: Simplify the fractions and round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.s≈0.5271 or s≈−0.8129Rounded to the nearest hundredth:s≈0.53 or s≈−0.81
