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 ...

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 ...

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 \(x = \frac ...
