Dillon Floyd · Answer 1

X = 13/2 or X = 7/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2-5x+4

Where a = 1, b = - 5, c = 4

X = - b (+,-) √b^2-4ac / 2a

X = - (-5) (+,-) √ (-5) ^2-4 (1) (4) / 2 (1)

X = 5 (+,-) √25-16 / 2

X = 5 (+,-) √9/2

X = 5+3/2 or X = 5 - 3/2

X = 13/2 or X = 7/2

It has got two solutions
