Answer:

x = -0.70,-2.212.

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) The quadratic equation is :

[tex]6x^2 + 17x + 9 = 0[/tex]

Here,

a = 6, b = 17, c = 9

Put all the values in the quadratic formula.

[tex]x=\dfrac{-17+\sqrt{17^2-4\times 6\times 9}}{2(6)},\dfrac{-17-\sqrt{17^2-4\times 6\times 9}}{2(6)}\\\\x=-0.70,-2.12[/tex]

So, the solution of the given equation are -0.70,-2.212.

(b) Equation is : [tex]4x^2 -4x + 1 = 0[/tex].

Here, a = 4, b = -4 and c = 1

So,

[tex]x=\dfrac{-(-4)+\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times 4\times 1}}{2(4)},\dfrac{-(-4)-\sqrt{(-4)^2-4\times 4\times 1}}{2(4)}\\\\x=0.5,0.5[/tex]

Hence, this is the required solution.
