How do you solve a quadratic equation that will not factor?
How you solve an equation that doesn't factor is to plug a quadratic equation's format; ax2+bx+c into the quadratic formula which is x=-b+square root to (b2-4ac)/2a.
If one of the roots of the quadratic equation is 1 plus 3i what is the other root?
The answer to the question, as stated, is that the other root could be anything. However, if all the coefficients of the quadratic equation are real numbers, then the other root is 1 minus 3i.
Solve this quadratic equation using the quadratic formula 2x2 - 10x plus 7 equals 0?
2x2-10+7 = 0 Solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula will give you two solutions and they are: x = (5 - the square root of 11)/2 or x = (5 + the square root of 11)/2
Why the discriminant of a quadratic is useful in algebra?
Because the square root of the discriminant is a component of the roots of the equation.
What is the number called under the square root when the number is negative in the quadratic equation?
The term inside the square root symbol is called the radicand. There isn't a specific term for it based on its sign; whether it's positive or negative, it's still the radicand.I'm a little confused by your reference to the quadratic equation.If the radicand is negative, the root is an imaginary number, though that doesn't specifically have anything to do with the quadratic equation in particular.If the quantity b2 - 4ac is negative in the quadratic equation, the root of the quadratic equation is either complex or imaginary depending on whether or not b is zero.---------------------------Thank you to whoever answered this first; you saved me a bit of trouble explaining this to the asker :)However, in the quadractic equation, the number under the radical is called the discriminant. This determines the number of solutions of the quadratic. If the radicand is negative, this means that there are no real solutions to the equation.
