Zacharias is using the quadratic formula to solve the equation 0 = –2x2 + 5x – 3. He begins by substituting as shown. Quadratic formula: x = StartFraction negative b plus or minus StartRoot b squared minus 4 a c EndRoot Over 2 a EndFraction
Substitution: x = StartFraction negative 5 plus or minus StartRoot 5 squared minus 4(2)(negative 3) EndRoot Over 2(negative 2) EndFraction
What error did Zacharias make?
