Q. Solve using the quadratic formula.k2−7k+9=0Write your answers as integers, proper or improper fractions in simplest form, or decimals rounded to the nearest hundredth.k=_____ or k=_____
Identify values of a, b, c: Identify the values of a, b, and c in the quadratic equationk2−7k+9=0. The standard form of a quadratic equation is ax2+bx+c=0. By comparing, we find: a=1b=−7b0
Substitute values into quadratic formula: Substitute the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula k=2a−b±b2−4ac. Substitute a=1, b=−7, and c=9 into the quadratic formula. k=2⋅1−(−7)±(−7)2−4⋅1⋅9k=27±49−36
Simplify and solve for k: Simplify under the square root and solve for k.49−36=13.So, we have:k=27±13
Calculate two possible solutions: Calculate the two possible solutions for k.k=27+13 or k=27−13
Round values of k: If necessary, round the values of k to the nearest hundredth.k≈(7+3.61)/2 or k≈(7−3.61)/2k≈10.61/2 or k≈3.39/2k≈5.31 or k≈1.69
