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 ...

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 ...

New research details an intriguing new way to solve "unsolvable" algebra problems that go beyond the fourth degree – something that has generally been deemed impossible using traditional methods for ...

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 ...

SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Vol. 43, No. 3 (2006), pp. 1321-1347 (27 pages) This paper develops and investigates iterative tensor methods for solving large-scale systems of nonlinear equations ...

Using the quadratic formula is another method of solving quadratic equations that will not factorise. You will need to learn this formula, as well as understanding how to use it. The first solution is ...
