1. Problem Description

The problem is to solve the quadratic equation x211x+6=0x^2 - 11x + 6 = 0.

2. Solution Steps

We can use the quadratic formula to solve for xx.
The quadratic formula is given by:
x=b±b24ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}
In our equation, x211x+6=0x^2 - 11x + 6 = 0, we have a=1a = 1, b=11b = -11, and c=6c = 6.
Plugging these values into the quadratic formula, we get:
x=(11)±(11)24(1)(6)2(1)x = \frac{-(-11) \pm \sqrt{(-11)^2 - 4(1)(6)}}{2(1)}
x=11±121242x = \frac{11 \pm \sqrt{121 - 24}}{2}
x=11±972x = \frac{11 \pm \sqrt{97}}{2}
So, the two solutions for xx are:
x=11+972x = \frac{11 + \sqrt{97}}{2} and x=11972x = \frac{11 - \sqrt{97}}{2}.

3. Final Answer

The solutions are x=11+972x = \frac{11 + \sqrt{97}}{2} and x=11972x = \frac{11 - \sqrt{97}}{2}.
