Write Quadratic Formula: Write down the quadratic formula.The quadratic formula is used to find the solutions to a quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0. The formula is:x=2a−b±b2−4ac
Identify Coefficients: Identify the coefficients a, b, and c from the quadratic equation x2−5x+9=0.In this equation, a=1, b=−5, and c=9.
Substitute into Formula: Substitute the coefficients into the quadratic formula.x=2(1)−(−5)±(−5)2−4(1)(9)x=25±25−36
Simplify Discriminant: Simplify the expression under the square root (the discriminant). x=25±−11Since the discriminant is negative, there are no real solutions to the equation, only complex solutions.
Write Complex Solutions: Write down the complex solutions.x=25±−11x=25±i11
