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 ...

The quadratic formula for a quadratic equation in the form of \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) is \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\). The first solution is \(x = \frac ...

Here are some examples of quadratic equations in this form: \(2x^2 - 2x - 3 = 0\). \(a = 2\), \(b = -2\) and \(c = -3\) \(2x(x + 3) = 0\). \(a = 2\), \(b = 6\) and ...

Math assignments may not typically get much attention, but one turned in by Upstate high school students has gone viral. “It's Teacher Appreciation Week across the country" Adrian Acosta, with ...

Math enthusiasts would love to check out Google today! Wondering why? Well, it seems like the homepage is celebrating a widely used formula; ax2+bx+c=0! Nerdy enough to understand which equation this ...

News of a subtle quadratic equation breakthrough has brought algebra forward from the very back of many people’s minds, and algebra is always part of the “when will I ever use this?” rubric people use ...

A UNSW Sydney mathematician has discovered a new method to tackle algebra's oldest challenge—solving higher polynomial equations. Polynomials are equations involving a variable raised to powers, such ...
