How To Solve Quadratic Equations For Kids

Solving Quadratic Equations

Let's have a look at how we solve a quadratic equation:

x²-3x+2=0

The easiest way to solve them is to follow certain steps:

Step 1

Find two numbers where when they are multiplied together equal the firstnumber (a=1) multiplied by the third number (c=2). These two numbers when addedto each other must also equal the second number (b=-3).

In the above example, the solution is -2 and -1.
We can see that when added together the result is -3 and that when multiplied together, the result is 2

Step 2

Rewrite the original equation splitting the middle part into two using thenumbers which you found in step 1.

x²-x-2x+2=0

Step 3

Start to factorise both halves of the equation:

x(x-1)-2(x-1)=0

At this point you will know if you are going along the correct track if thefirst bracket is the same as the second bracket.

Step 4

Collect everything before each bracket and put it into one bracket andmultiply this bracket by that which is inside the identical brackets:

(x-1)(x-2)=0

Step 5

In order for the left side of the equation to be equal to 0, one of the twobrackets must equal 0. So either:

a.
x-1=0
x=1

b
x-2=0
x=2

Step 6

Check these answers:

1²-(3*1)+2=0
1-3+2=0
0=0

2²-(3*2)+2=0
4-6+2=0
0=0

Therefore the possible solutions for the above equation are confirmed to be 1 and 2

Golf claps to John Mayer

Kudos to musician John Mayer — not for doing the right thing, but for taking the time to tell his fans how HE, big hot superstar John Mayer, chose to do the right thing. I’m taking to the blog today to share something with you that I feel more passionate about than I saw coming. I want to make it short and sweet so that anybody who wants to re-print it can copy and paste without editing… Went out to dinner Thursday night. My car. One glass of wine.

Hello everyone in blog world. I am going to vent. That's the disclaimer. I got a job offer today. I am a little stressed. Do I take it? Do I wait for something else? I think I am definitely going to take a new job for next year. The question is whether I should take this one or keep looking. I'm a little stressed. James is not doing well in Microbiology.
