ax2 + bx + c = 0 , find the value of x .

b2-4ac>o x is real (2 different values will solve)

b2-4ac=o -> a double root (a single real number will solve it)

x=real numbers.

b2-4ac<0

x= two complex number roots (either pure imaginary or a complex number with real and imaginary components)

How can I solve a quadratic equations for x in terms of y?

A quadratic involving x and y is usually in the form 'y = ax2 + bx + c'. This form is y in terms of x, so we must rearrange it. y = ax2 + bx + c y/a = x2 + bx/a + c/a y/a = x2 + bx/a + d + e, where c/a = d + e, e = (b/a)2 y/a - e = x2 + bx/a + d y/a -e = (x + b/a)2 &radic;(y/a - e) = x + b/a &radic;(y/a - e) - b/a = x


What is the formula for finding the value of x in the quadratic equation ax2 bx c0?

Unfortunately, limitations of the browser used by Answers.com means that we cannot see most symbols. It is therefore impossible to give a proper answer to your question. However, assuming your question to find the roots or solutions of ax2 + bx + c = 0, the answer is x = [-b &Acirc;&plusmn; sqrt(b2 - 4ac)]/2a b2 - 4ac is called the discriminant. If the discriminant &gt; 0 then the quadratic equation has two distinct real roots. If the discriminant = 0 then the quadratic equation has one double root. If the discriminant &lt; 0 then the quadratic equation has two distinct complex roots that are conjugates of one another.


How do you determine wheather a quadratic function has a maximum or minimum and how do you find it?

In theory you can go down the differentiation route but because it is a quadratic, there is a simpler solution. The general form of a quadratic equation is y = ax2 + bx + c If a &gt; 0 then the quadratic has a minimum If a &lt; 0 then the quadratic has a maximum [and if a = 0 it is not a quadratic!] The maximum or minimum is attained when x = -b/2a and you evaluate y = ax2 + bx + c at this value of x to find the maximum or minimum value of the quadratic.


What is a simple equation?

a = bx + c bx + (c-a) = 0 x = (a-c)/b It's simple because there is only one solution. This is a quadratic equation: ax2 + bx + c = 0 It has two solutions.

How do you know if a quadratic has a minimum or maximum value?

When the quadratic is written in the form: y = ax2 + bx + c then if a &gt; 0 y has a minimum if a &lt; 0 y has a maximum and if a = 0 y is not a quadratic but y = bx + c, and it is linear. The maximum or minimum is at x = -b/(2a)


What determines if a quadratic function has no x-intercepts?

If the quadratic function is written as ax2 + bx + c, then it has no x-intercepts if the discriminant, (b2 - 4ac), is negative.

When factoring a trinomial that is in the format ax2 plus bx c the number that is represented by B should be viewed as the?

The general form of a quadratic expression is given as ax2+bx+c where "a" cannot equal zero and "b" is the coefficient of the variable "x" and also the sum of the factors of "c" when "a" is unity. Example: x2+5x+6 = (x+2)(x+3) when factored
