Finally, there are two methods to use, depending on if the given quadratic equation can be factored or not.
1.- The first one is the new Diagonal Sum Method, recently presented in book titled: "New methods for solving quadratic equations" (Trafford 2009). This method directly gives the two roots in the form of two fractions, without having to factor it. The innovative concept of this new method is finding 2 fractions knowing their product (c/a) and their sum (-b/a). This new method is applicable to any quadratic equation that can be factored. It can replace the existing trial-and-error factoring method since this last one contains too many more permutations. In general, it is hard to tell in advance if a given quadratic equation can be factored. However, if the new method fails to get the answers, then you can positively conclude that this equation can not be factored. Consequently, the quadratic formula must be used in solving. We advise students to always try to solve the given equation by the new method first.
If the student gets conversant with this method, it usually take less than 2 trials to get answers.
2. the second one uses the quadratic formula that students can find in any algebra book. This formula must be used for all quadratic equations that can not be factored.

How do you solve imaginary equations?
The answer depends on the nature of the equation. Just as there are different ways of solving a linear equation with a real solution and a quadratic equation with real solutions, and other kinds of equations, there are different methods for solving different kinds of imaginary equations.

Can all quadratics be solved by completing the square?
Completing the square is one method for solving a quadratic equation. A quadratic equation can also be solved by factoring, using the square roots or quadratic formula. Solving quadratic equations by completing the square will always work when solving quadratic equations-You can also use division or even simply take a GCF, set the quantities( ) equal to zero, and subtract or add to solve for the variable
What is the third step in solving this equation by completing the square?
Completing the square is one method for solving a quadratic equation. A quadratic equation can also be solved by several methods including factoring, graphing, using the square roots or the quadratic formula. Completing the square will always work when solving quadratic equations and is a good tool to have. Solving a quadratic equation by completing the square is used in a lot of word problems.I want you to follow the related link that explains the concept of completing the square clearly and gives some examples. that video is from brightstorm.

How many existing methods are there in solving quadratic equations?
There are 5 existing methods in solving quadratic equations. For the first 4 methods (quadratic formula, factoring, graphing, completing the square) you can easily find them in algebra books. I would like to explain here the new one, the Diagonal Sum Method, recently presented in book titled:"New methods for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Trafford 2009). It directly gives the 2 roots in the form of 2 fractions, without having to factor the equation. The innovative concept of the method is finding 2 fractions knowing their Sum (-b/a) and their Product (c/a). It is very fast, convenient and is applicable whenever the given quadratic equation is factorable. In general, it is hard to tell in advance if a given quadratic equation can be factored. However, if this new method fails to find the answer, then we can conclude that the equation can not be factored, and consequently, the quadratic formula must be used. This new method can replace the trial-and-error factoring method since it is faster, more convenient, with fewer permutations and fewer trials.
