Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the CoefficientsConcise Step Description: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation, which are the numbers in front of the variables. In this case, the coefficients are 5, 4, and −19.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 5, 4, −19Step Output: Coefficients: 5, 4, −19
Calculate Discriminant: Step Title: Calculate the DiscriminantConcise Step Description: Calculate the discriminant of the quadratic equation using the formula D=b2−4ac, where a, b, and c are the coefficients of the equation.Step Calculation: D=42−4(5)(−19)=16+380=396Step Output: Discriminant: 396
Check Discriminant: Step Title: Check the DiscriminantConcise Step Description: Check the discriminant to determine the nature of the roots. If the discriminant is positive, there are two real and distinct roots.Step Calculation: Since 396 is positive, there are two real and distinct roots.Step Output: Nature of roots: Two real and distinct roots
Find Roots: Step Title: Find the RootsConcise Step Description: Use the quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation. The quadratic formula is x=2a−b±D.Step Calculation: x=2×5−4±396=10−4±299Step Output: Roots: x=10−4+299 and x=10−4−299
