The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His secret is in generalizing two roots together instead of keeping them as separate values. Quadratic ...

Google's latest animated Doodle celebrates the quadratic equation, transforming its homepage into an interactive classroom.

For tips on how to do this, look at Factorising quadratics and Factorisation of further quadratics in this guide. For (\({x}\) + 2)(\({x}\) + 7) to equal 0 either the first or second bracket must be ...

Look at the National 4 factorising section before continuing. When a question asks you to 'solve' a quadratic equation, this means that you are to find the roots of the quadratic. In other words, ...

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 ...

The ancient Babylonians were a remarkable bunch. Among many extraordinary achievements, they found a now-famous mathematical solution to an unpleasant challenge: paying tax. The particular problem for ...

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 ...
