$\frac{1}{80}x^2-x+15=0$
Learn how to solve differential calculus problems step by step online. Solve the quadratic equation -1/80x^2+x-15=0. For a simpler handling of the equation, change the sign of all terms, multiplying the entire whole by -1. To find the roots of a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c we use the quadratic formula, where in this case a=\frac{1}{80}, b=-1 and c=15. Then substitute the values of the coefficients of the equation in the quadratic formula: \displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}. Simplifying. To obtain the two solutions, divide the equation in two equations, one when \pm is positive (+), and another when \pm is negative (-).
