Rhett is solving the quadratic equation 0= x2 – 2x – 3 using the quadratic formula. Which shows the correct substitution of the values a, b, and c into the quadratic formula?

Hi, the quadratic formula is: [tex] \boxed{X= \dfrac{-b \pm \sqrt{b ^{2}-4ac} }{2a}}[/tex]

Values:
a = 1; b = - 2; c = - 3
SOLVING:

[tex]0=X ^{2}-2X-3[/tex]

[tex]X ^{2}-2X-3=0[/tex]

[tex]X= \dfrac{-(-2) \pm \sqrt{(-2) ^{2}-4(1)(-3) } }{2(1)}[/tex]

[tex]X= \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{4+12} }{2}[/tex]

[tex]X= \dfrac{2 \pm \sqrt{16} }{2}[/tex]

[tex]X= \dfrac{2 \pm4}{2}[/tex]

Getting X₁:

X₁
= [tex] \dfrac{2+4}{2}[/tex]

X₁
= [tex] \dfrac{6}{2}[/tex]

X₁ = [tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \textbf{3}}}\ ===>\ The\ first\ solution.[/tex]


Getting X₂:


X₂
= [tex] \dfrac{2-4}{2}[/tex]

X₂ = [tex] \dfrac{-2}{2}[/tex]

X₂ = [tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \textbf{-1}}}\ ===>\ The\ second\ solution.[/tex]

GOOD LUCK...!!!
