# Solving 27x2+-94x+73 using the Quadratic Formula

For your equation of the form "ax2 + bx + c = 0," enter the values for a, b, and c:

 a x2 + b x + c = 0
Reset

You entered:
27x2+-94x+73=0.

There are two real solutions: x = 2.3121203192793, and x = 1.1693611622022.

## Here's how we found that solution:

You entered the following equation:
(1)           27x2+-94x+73=0.

For any quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, one can solve for x using the following equation, which is known as the quadratic formula:
(2)

In the form above, you specified values for the variables a, b, and c. Plugging those values into Eqn. 1, we get:
(3)           $$x=--94\pm\frac{\sqrt{-94^2-4*27*73}}{2*27}$$

which simplifies to:
(4)           $$x=--94\pm\frac{\sqrt{8836-7884}}{54}$$

Now, solving for x, we find two real solutions:
$$x=\frac{--94+30.854497241083}{54}$$ = 2.3121203192793,
and
$$x=\frac{--94-30.854497241083}{54}$$ = 1.1693611622022,

Both of these solutions are real numbers.
These are the two solutions that will satisfy the quadratic equation 27x2+-94x+73=0.

### Notes

A quadratic equation is an equation that can take the form: ax2 + bx + c = 0, where x is a variable which is not known, and a, b, and c are constants. The constants a and b are called coefficients. Additionally, it should be noted that a cannot be equal to zero in the equation ax2+bx+c=0.

Finding a solution to a quadratic equation can appear daunting. However, you have this handy-dandy quadratic equation calculator. All kidding aside, quadratic equations can be readily solved using the quadratic formula, which is the same technique used by this quadratic equation calculator. Try it, and it will explain each of the steps to you. The quadratic formula is:

Since there are always 2 solutions to a square root (one negative, one positive), solving the quadratic equation results in 2 values for x. The two solutions for x (which may be positive or negative, real or complex) are called roots. Under extraordinary circumstances, the two roots may equal each other, meaning there will only be one solution for x.

Who cares? Why do we care about qudratic equations? Quadratic equations are needed to compute answers to many real-world problems. For example, to compute how an object will rise and fall due to Earth's gravity would require the use of s quadratic equation.

In our equation, a cannot be zero. However, b can be zero, and so can c.

We hope you find this quadratic equation solver useful. We encourage you to plug in different values for a, b, and c. But we totally understand if you just want to use it to find the answers you're looking for. Thank you for using Quadratic-Equation-Calculator.com.
