Trig

2x^2-4x+3=0

First, let's see if we can factor this....nope!!

We could either use the quadratic formula or use the solver on this site

I'll use the latter

So...we have only two complex roots!!

Note.........Any complex roots of a polynomial always occur in pairs!!

Hope this helps

Hi Chris,
You can see the answer without needing a second post just by using the preview function.

Thanks, Melody...

I'm still learning about this site!!

I thought there was a way to do this, but I (obviously) couldn't figure out which buttons to push!!! (LOL!!!)

Mojo:

Solve for x:
2x^2-4x+3=0
Thanks!

What all this means Mojo is that there are no solutions (no real ones anyway)

If you plotted 2x ²-4x+3=y It would lie completely above the y axis. Hence, y can never be 0.
