You have come to the correct place if you are looking to solve the quadratic equation 26x squared minus 17x minus 9 equals 0, also known as 26x² - 17x - 9 = 0. Below, we walk you through how to find the answer.
To find the two possible answers to 26x^2 - 17x - 9 = 0, we will start by rewriting the equation in factored form. Then, we will create two separate equations that we can use to solve 26x² - 17x - 9 = 0.
Below is 26x squared minus 17x minus 9 in factored form. As you can see, 26x² - 17x - 9 has been grouped into two sets of parentheses.
(x - 1)(26x + 9)
Next, we set each set of parentheses equal to 0 and solve for x to get the two answers to 26x^2 - 17x - 9 = 0.
(x - 1) = 0
x1 = 1
(26x + 9) = 0
x2 = -9/26
