look for the interceptions add these and divide it by 2 (that's the x vertex) for the yvertex you just have to fill in the x(vertex) however you can also use the formula -(b/2a)
By implication : x2-8x+7 = kx-2 Form a quadratic equation: x2-8x-kx+9 = 0 For a line to be a tangent to the curve it must have two equal roots and the discriminant b2-4ac of the quadratic equation must equal 0. So: (-8-k)2-4*1*9 = 0 (-8-k)2-36 = 0 (-8-k)2 = 36 Square root both sides: -8-k = -/+6 -k = 2 or 14 k = -2 or -14 When k = -2 is substituted into the quadratic equation x will have two equal roots of 3 When k = -14 is substituted into the quadratic equation x will have two equal roots of -3
In a quadratic equation, the vertex (which will be the maximum value of a negative quadratic and the minimum value of a positive quadratic) is in the exact center of any two x values whose corresponding y values are equal. So, you'd start by solving for x, given any y value in the function's range. Then, you'd solve for y where x equals the middle value of the two x's given in the previous. For example:y = x24 = x2x = 2, -2y = (0)2y = 0Which is, indeed, the vertex of y = x2
Chemists use quadratic polynomials constantly in equilibrium calculations. To find unknown concentrations in reactions of that nature. The problem reduces to a polynomial that is solved by the quadratic equation. Simplified answer, Using polynomials it will soon be possible to identify some powerful techniques for seeking out the local extrema of functions, these points or bumps are often very interesting.
There are so far 8 common methods to solve quadratic equations:GraphingFactoring FOIL methodCompleting the square.Using the quadratic formula (derived from algebraic manipulation of "completing the square" method).The Diagonal Sum Method. It quickly and directly gives the 2 real roots in the form of 2 fractions. In fact, it can be considered as a shortcut of the factoring method. It uses the Rule of Signs for Real Roots in its solving process. When a= 1, it can give the 2 real roots quickly without factoring. Example. Solve x^2 - 39x + 108 = 0. The Rule of Signs indicates the 2 real roots are both positive. Write the factor-sets of c = 108. They are: (1, 108), (2, 54), (3, 36)...Stop! This sum is 36 + 3 = 39 = -b. The 2 real roots are 3 and 36. No needs for factoring! When a is not one, this new method selects all probable root-pairs, in the form of 2 fractions. Then it applies a very simple formula to see which root-pair is the answer. Usually, it requires less than 3 trials. If this new method fails, then this given quadratic equation can not be factored, and consequently the quadratic formula must be used. Please see book titled:"New methods for solving quadratic equations and inequalities" (Amazon e-book 2010).The Bluma MethodThe factoring AC Method (Youtube). This method is considerably improved by a "new and improved AC Method", recently introduced on Google or Yahoo Search.The new Transforming Method, recently introduced, that is may be the best and fastest method to solve quadratic equations. Its strong points are: simple, fast, systematic, no guessing, no factoring by grouping, and no solving the binomials. To know this new method, read the articles titled:"Solving quadratic equations by the new Transforming Method" on Google or Yahoo Search.BEST METHODS TO SOLVE QUADRATIC EQUATIONS. A. When the equation can't be factored, the best choice would be the quadratic formula. How to know if the equation can't be factored? There are 2 ways:1. Start solving by the new Transforming Method in composing factor pairs of a*c (or c). If you can't find the pair whose sum equals to (-b), or b, then the equation can't be factored.2. Calculate the Discriminant D = b^2 - 4ac. If D isn't a perfect square, then the equation can't be factored.B. When the equation can be factored, the new Transforming Method would be the best choice.
The easiest way to write a generic algorithm is to simply use the quadratic formula. If it is a computer program, ask the user for the coefficients a, b, and c of the generic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, then just replace them in the quadratic formula.

There are an infinite number of different quadratic equations. The quadratic formula is a single formula that can be used to find the pair of solutions to every quadratic equation.
No, the quadratic equation, is mainly used in math to find solutions to quadratic expressions. It is not related to science in any way.
To find the roots (solutions) of a quadratic equation.
I suggest you use the quadratic formula.
Draw the graph of the equation. the solution is/are the points where the line cuts the x(horisontal) axis .
When you graph the quadratic equation, you have three possibilities... 1. The graph touches x-axis once. Then that quadratic equation only has one solution and you find it by finding the x-intercept. 2. The graph touches x-axis twice. Then that quadratic equation has two solutions and you also find it by finding the x-intercept 3. The graph doesn't touch the x-axis at all. Then that quadratic equation has no solutions. If you really want to find the solutions, you'll have to go to imaginary solutions, where the solutions include negative square roots.
When you need to find the roots of a quadratic equation and factorisation does not work (or you cannot find the factors). The quadratic equation ALWAYS works. And when appropriate, it will give the imaginary roots which, judging by this question, you may not yet be ready for.
The quadratic formula can be used to find the solutions of a quadratic equation - not a linear or cubic, or non-polynomial equation. The quadratic formula will always provide the solutions to a quadratic equation - whether the solutions are rational, real or complex numbers.
You substitute the value of the variable into the quadratic equation and evaluate the expression.
Whether or not that there is a solution to a quadratic equation,
