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 ...

Do you know what ‘ax2+bx+c=0’ is? Well, it’s the quadratic equation, which, believe it or not, is used in multiple fields in ...

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 ...

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 ...
