a. thay m=-4 vào (1) ta có:
\(x^2-5x-6=0\)
Δ=b\(^2\)-4ac= (-5)\(^2\) - 4.1.(-6)= 25 + 24= 49 > 0
\(\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{49}=7\)
x\(_1\)=\(\dfrac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\dfrac{5+7}{2}\)=6
x\(_2\)=\(\dfrac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\dfrac{5-7}{2}\)=-1
vậy khi x=-4 thì pt đã cho có 2 nghiệm x\(_1\)=6; x\(_2\)=-1
