To find the roots of a polynomial of the form $ax^2+bx+c$ we use the quadratic formula, where in this case $a=1200$, $b=-600$ and $c=8$. Then substitute the values of the coefficients of the equation in the quadratic formula: $\displaystyle x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$

$x=\frac{600\pm \sqrt{{\left(-600\right)}^2-4\cdot 1200\cdot 8}}{2\cdot 1200}$
Learn how to solve quadratic equations problems step by step online. Solve the quadratic equation 1200x^2-600x+8=0. To find the roots of a polynomial of the form ax^2+bx+c we use the quadratic formula, where in this case a=1200, b=-600 and c=8. 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 (-). Subtract the values 600 and -567.0978752.
