Looking for the answers to ax² + bx + c = 0? A mathematician has rediscovered a technique that the ancient Babylonians used. By Kenneth Chang and Jonathan Corum The quadratic equation has frustrated ...

Now try the example questions below. Since -1 < 0, then it is a maximum turning point. \({b^2} - 4ac\) where \(a = - 1,\,b = 2\,and\,c = - 3\) \(= {2^2} - (4 \times ...

This jingle has helped generations of algebra students recall the quadratic formula that solves every equation of the form $latex ax^2+bx+c=0$. The formula is as ...

First we need to complete the square to get the coordinates of the turning point. \(y = {x^2} + 2x + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} - 1 + 3\) \(y = {(x + 1)^2} + 2\) Therefore ...
