x = -4.29
y : 60.163

Tip: The graph shows the full function. Roots (x-intercepts) are where y = 0.
ANSWERx = 2 or x = 0.5

Step-by-step solution

Standard form

2x² - 5x + 2 = 0

Identify constants a = 2, b = -5, c = 2

Discriminant

Δ = b² - 4ac = 25 - 16 = 9

Δ > 0 → two real roots

Quadratic formula

x = (5 ± √9) / 4 = (5 ± 3) / 4

Frequently Asked Questions

Have questions about how StudyHobby homework solver helper processes math problems? We have answers.

Our advanced AI model solves a wide range of math subjects, including pre-algebra, algebra, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, calculus (derivatives and integrals), and basic sciences. You can upload files or compose equations directly.

Simply click the 'Camera' button to open a simulation of active video capture, or click 'Upload' to drop a photo. You can drag the corners of the purple cropping box to crop exact equations out of larger pages.

Yes! Use the interactive 'Next step →' and '← Back' buttons inside the solver card to move forwards or backwards at your own pace. Dots and step indexes update dynamically to trace progress.

Beneath the solution steps, you can type follow-up questions directly into the AI Tutor Chat interface. Ask it to explain steps in detail, show alternative methods, or provide practice samples.

Absolutely. Solved equations dynamically map coordinate curves on our 2D graph visualizer canvas. Hovering over key coordinate points (like vertices and roots) displays exact points.
