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.
