Some quadratics cannot be factorised. An alternative method to solve a quadratic equation is to complete the square. To solve an equation of the form \(x^2 + bx + c = 0\) consider the expression ...

The quadratic formula for a quadratic equation in the form of \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) is: \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\). The first solution is \(\frac{(-6 ...

The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His secret is in generalizing two roots together instead of keeping them as separate values. Quadratic ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...
