If a quadratic equation can be factorised, the factors can be used to find the roots of the equation. The equation factorises to give \((x + 3) (x - 2) = 0 \) so the solutions to the equation \(x^2 + ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help ...

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 ...

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 ...
