Solve this quadratic equation. x^2 + 5x + 3 = 0

Hi there!
The question gives us the quadratic equation , and it tells us to solve it using the quadratic formula, which goes as . However, we must first find the values of a, b, and c. The official quadratic equation goes as , which matches the format of the given quadratic equation. Hence, the value of a would be 1, the value of b would be 5, and the value of c would be 3. Now, just plug it back into the quadratic equation and simplify to get the zeros of the equation. 







Therefore, the solutions to the quadratic equation  are x = -0.7 and x = -4.31. Hope this helped and have a phenomenal day!

Your answer should be 1/3. i hope i could ! good luck : )
