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 ...

Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is widely used to predict body composition in paediatric research and clinical practice. Many equations have been published, but provide inconsistent predictions ...

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 ...

In this part you do not have to sketch the graph and you may even be given the sketch of the graph to start with. For a quadratic equation of the form \(y = k{(x - a)^2} + b\), the following diagram ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract An asymptotic expansion in terms of small δ = 1-e, where e is the eccentricity, is constructed for the pressure distribution inside a finite ...

Practice how to recognise and determine the equation of a quadratic function from its graph ahead of your National 5 Maths exam with this interactive maths quiz. The equation of a a quadratic function ...

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 ...

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 ...
