Write Quadratic Equation With Roots

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

A Real Version for the Square root of -1

A Real Version for the Square root of -1 The above was conceived from the first letter of Imaginary, because the number representing the square root of -1 doesn't exist on the real number line. Pythagorus and other great Mathematicians were dumbfounded by the meaning of , yet in todays higher level Maths, is now taken for granted. However, it's true meaning seems to have been bypassed as our interpretation of it still allows history to dominate our thinking basis re . I actually dis

Classifying Z/3 extensions of the rationals

The triumph of early twentieth century number theory is the formulation and proof of the main results of class field theory. In technical terms, class field theory classifies the abelian extensions of a number field and describes how primes split in such extensions. In more elementary (but less accurate) terms, class field theory answers two questions. First, what are the polynomials such that [IMG \mathbb{Q}[x]/f(x)] is a Galois extension of with abelian Galois group? Remember that, if is

roots of polynomial equations (complex #s)

so im just starting to learn about roots of polynomial equations with roots that are complex numbers and i dont understand them at all.. i hope you can help A. Use the quadratic formula to find the roots of the equation x^2+4x+5=0. Simplify and compare the roots. what do you notice? B. write a quadratic equation with integral coefficients such that one of its roots is 4-5i C. Write a quartic equation with integral coefficients and with roots 7i and -3i ..... so for A i think its x= -2+i a
