The centre column shows the steps in words, and the right column shows the equation after the step is applied.
- step 1
- step 2
- step 3
- step 4
- step 5
- determine #a#, #b# and #c#
- determine solutions
- determine number of solutions
- reduce to #0#
- calculate discriminant
- #s={{4-\sqrt{61}}\over{9}} \lor s={{\sqrt{61}+4}\over{9}}#
- #9\cdot s^2-8\cdot s-5=0#
- #D=244#
- #D \gt 0#, hence, there are #2# solutions
- #a=9#, #b=-8# and #c=-5#
