Is it true The Quadratic Formula can be used to solve any quadratic equation?
No. Well, it depends what you mean with "any quadratic equation". The quadratic formula can solve any equation that can be converted to the form: ax2 + bx + c = 0 Note that it involves only a single variable. There are other limitations as well; for example, no additional operations. If a variable, or the square of a variable, appears in the denominator (1/x, or 1/x2), then some might say that it is "quadratic", but it might no longer be possible to convert the equation into the standard form named above. Similarly, if you have additional operations such as square roots or higher roots, trigonometric functions, etc., it might not be possible to convert the equation into a form that can be solved by the quadratic formula.
How do you simplify math?
You can't. Math is not an algebraic expression. Simplifying an equation, however, can take multiple forms. Sometimes simplify simply means to solve an equation. Other times, it can mean to bring an equation into a standard form, such as with line equations, or quadratic equations.
How is solving a quadratic equation the same as finding its roots?
That is what roots mean!
Is (x-2)(x 4)0 a quadratic equation?
If you mean: (x-2)(x+4) = 0 then it is a quadratic equation whose solutions are x = 2 or x = -4
What are the five methods for solving a quadratic?
I guess you mean the standard quadratic equation, of the form ax^2 + bx + c = 0.There are three main algebraic methods, namely: * Factoring * Completing the square * Using the quadratic formula Since you want five, here are a few more, but they are usually not very convenient to use for this particular type of equation: * Trial and error * Graphic the equation * Diverse iterative methods, such as Newton's method, etc.
