You start off with a formula in the form y = x 2 + bx. The first step is to add the square of half of the coefficient of x: (b/2) 2 . This allows us to rearrange the formula into (x+ b/2) 2 . However, our fo...

This quadratic equation is in the form ax^2+bx+c=0 (a=2, b=3, c=1), where there is a coefficient in front of X 2 term. First we have to multiply a and c. we then have to find two numbers z and y which multip...

example quadratic eqn: ax 2 +bx+c=0 => x = (-b+-(b 2 -4ac) 1/2 )/2a e.g. 4x 2 -13x+3/4=0 x= (13+-(157) 1/2 )/8 = 3.1912, 0.0588

We can rewrite this as (5x - 2y)(5x - 2y). Now all we have to do is expand the brackets. We can do this by multiplying all the terms in the second bracket by all the terms in the first bracket and then sum t...
