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 ...

"Even the +, −, =, and x signs we take for granted only came into widespread use in the 17th century. Which means that the earlier algebraists we know of … all had expressed their equations mostly in ...

Looking for the answers to ax² + bx + c = 0? A mathematician has rediscovered a technique that the ancient Babylonians used. By Kenneth Chang and Jonathan Corum The quadratic equation has frustrated ...

In the literature there has been considerable attention given to the exploration of relationships between certain diophantine equations and class numbers of quadratic fields. In this paper we provide ...
