Quadratic Tutorials

Hi Srijaroyc;
Welcome to MIFF! You're possibly going to meet some wonderful people here

Our equation is

We are going to solve this with the quadratic formula



Followed?

Re: Quadratic Tutorials

Got it. I was using that b2-4ac formula not this one.

Re: Quadratic Tutorials

I updated post 1

is required. That is the discriminant

Now, let us examine what are a, b and c.

a is the coefficient of x², b is the coefficent of x and c is the constant term.


In your next reply, I'll be expecting you to tell what are the values of a, b and c

Re: Quadratic Tutorials

Thanks.

Now, we will need


which is

But, again, is it possible to find the square root of a negative number?

I'd like to know what you think

Re: Quadratic Tutorials

Right smile

That is not possible. So, neither is it possible to solve for x. smile

Wait, I'll come back after dinner.

Did you read what NCERT says on Discriminants?

Re: Quadratic Tutorials

NCERT wrote:

1. IF D is negative, THEN the equation has no real roots.
2. IF D is positive, THEN the equation has two real roots.
2. IF D is zero, THEN both the roots of the equation are equal.

Let us discuss a few examples.
Ready?

P.S: What is your feedback about the last line of my signature?
