    I'm having trouble with Problems 2c and 2d on the Quadratic Formula sheet

    2c. 2x^2+4x-7=0

    2d. 3x^2+2x-4=0

    1. Worksheet_07:

      Exercise:

      2-c) 2x^2 + 4x - 7 = 0
      x = (-4 +- sqrt(4^2 - 4(2)(-7)))/((2)(2))
      = (-4 +- sqrt(72))/4
      = (-4 +- 6 sqrt(2))4
      = (-2 +- 3 sqrt(2))/2

      2-d) 3x^2 + 2x - 4 = 0
      x = (-2 +- sqrt(2^2 - 4(3)(-4)))/((2)(3))
      = (-2 +- sqrt(52))/6
      = (-2 +- 2 sqrt(13))/6
      = (-1 +- sqrt(13))/3
