Why do mathmaticians use the quadratic formula?
To find the roots (solutions) of a quadratic equation.
How do you find quadratic equation with only 2 solutions?
If the discriminant of the quadratic equation is equal or greater than zero it will have 2 solutions if it is less than zero then there are no solutions.
How you find the solution of a quadratic equation by graphing its quadratic equation?
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.
What is the difference between quadratic formula and quadratic equation?
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.
How do you find the number of solutions in a quadratic equation?
Factoring by the AC method, difference of squares, perfect square trinomial. If not factorable by those ways, you can use the quadratic formula. You can also find zeros by synthetic division. If there are not any real solutions, then the solutions are said to be complex, they do not cross the x axis.
