What are the pros and cons of the quadratic equation?
Pros: There are many real life situations in which the relationship between two variables is quadratic rather than linear. So to solve these situations quadratic equations are necessary. There is a simple equation to solve any quadratic equation. Cons: Pupils who are still studying basic mathematics will not be told how to solve quadratic equations in some circumstances - when the solutions lie in the Complex field.
How do you use the quadratic formula to solve a quadratic equation?
You convert the equation to the form: ax2 + bx + c = 0, replace the numeric values (a, b, c) in the quadratic formula, and calculate.
Why cant the zero product property be used to solve every quadratic equation?
If the discriminant of a quadratic equation is less than zero then it will not have any real roots.
Solve the quadratic equation y2-15 equals 0?
y=±√15
How do you solve for x using a quadratic equation?
For an equation of the form ax² + bx + c = 0 you can find the values of x that will satisfy the equation using the quadratic equation: x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a
