you use difference of squares
ex. X^2-4 can be factored out to (x+2)(x-2)
you now have the zeros in your equation much easier

In general, quadratic equations have graphs that are parabolas. The quadratic formula tells us how to find the roots of a quadratic equations. If those roots are real, they are the x intercepts of the parabola.
Dividing by the square root of minus 1 and multiplying by the mass of a mature Adele penguin travelling at 'c' would not be a method for finding the roots of quadratic functions.
Addition, subtraction signs, brackets, squares and powers, square roots and roots, fractions. Random variables are also used, like x.
The quadratic formula is used all the time to solve quadratic equations, often when the factors are fractions or decimals but sometimes as the first choice of solving method. The quadratic formula is sometimes faster than completing the square or any other factoring methods. Quadratic formula find: -x-intercept -where the parabola cross the x-axis -roots -solutions
A quadratic function is a function where a variable is raised to the second degree (2). Examples would be x2, or for more complexity, 2x2+4x+16. The quadratic formula is a way of finding the roots of a quadratic function, or where the parabola crosses the x-axis. There are many ways of finding roots, but the quadratic formula will always work for any quadratic function. In the form ax2+bx+c, the Quadratic Formula looks like this: x=-b±√b2-4ac _________ 2a The plus-minus means that there can 2 solutions.
