Google's latest animated Doodle celebrates the quadratic equation, transforming its homepage into an interactive classroom.
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 ...
\(3x^2 = 48\) is an example of a quadratic equation that can be solved simply. If \((x + 1)(x + 2) = 0\), then \(x + 1 = 0\) or \(x + 2 = 0\), meaning \(x = -1\) or ...
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 ...
If a quadratic equation can be factorised, the factors can be used to find the roots of the equation. The equation factorises to give \((x + 3) (x - 2) = 0 \) so the solutions to the equation \(x^2 + ...
