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 ...

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 ...

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 + ...
