Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula.
2x^2 - 10x + 7 = 02x2 - 10x + 7 = 0

I'm assuming the equation is:

2x^2 -10x +7 = 0

x = (-b +- sqr root (b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a

x = (--10 +-sqr root (100 -4*2*7)) / 4

x = (10 +- sqr root (44)) / 4

x1 = (10 + 6.6332495807 ) /4

x1 = 16.6332495807 / 4

x1 = 4.1583123952

x2 =(10 - 6.6332495807 ) /4

x2 = 3.3667504193  / 4

x2 = 0.8416876048

Step-by-step explanation:

given : the shape of his satellite can be modeled by   where x and y are modeled in inches.

now,the given equation   is a equation of parabola.

here, coefficient of x is positive, hence the parabola opens rightwards.

on comparing this equation with standard equation , we get

in standard equation, coordinates of focus=(0,m)

thus for given equation coordinates of focus=(0,1.5)
