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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Look at the National 4 factorising section before continuing. When a question asks you to 'solve' a quadratic equation, this means that you are to find the roots of the quadratic. In other words, ...

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 ...
