A mathematician has derived an easier way to solve quadratic equation problems, according to MIT's Technology Review. You love challenging math problems. So do we. Let's solve them together. Quadratic ...

For tips on how to do this, look at Factorising quadratics and Factorisation of further quadratics in this guide. For (\({x}\) + 2)(\({x}\) + 7) to equal 0 either the first or second bracket must be ...

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 ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help ...

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 \(x = \frac ...

In a boon to algebra students everywhere, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University has devised a simpler and more efficient way to solve problems involving the quadratic equation. The new method was ...

Everyone learns (and some readers maybe still remember) the quadratic formula. It’s a pillar of algebra and allows you to solve equations like Ax 2 +Bx+C=0. But just because you’ve used it doesn’t ...
