hey samhowell we can use this formula for that question bt ur formula is worong . bcz, we use b^2 -4ac bt u use b^2 -2ac so that answer is wrong.
-2x^2+7x=10 subtract 10 from both sides
-2x^2 + 7x - 10 = 0
Note that b^2 - 4ac = 49 - (4)(-2)(-10) = 49 - 80 = -31
So......this polynomial has no real roots...!!!
