Solve the quadratic equation: 3x2 + x - 5 = 0

Hey there!

This equation is in standard form, which is .

We are going to solve this with the quadratic equation, so we need to find the values for a, b, and c in the given equation. We can just look at it and identify the variables.

a = 3, b = 1, c = -5

Let's plug these values into the quadratic equation:

Multiply 4(3)(-5) together and multiply 2(3). Square 1.

Add 1 and 60.

This is our answer in exact form. If you need this as an approximate value, let me know and I will do that for you.

Hope this helps!
