If a quadratic equation can be factorised, the factors can be used to find the roots of the equation. The equation factorises to give \((x + 3) (x - 2) = 0 \) so the solutions to the equation \(x^2 + ...

Any point P with coordinates (\(x, y\)) on the circumference of a circle can be joined to the centre (0, 0) by a straight line that forms the hypotenuse of a right angle triangle with sides of length ...

A mathematician at Carnegie Mellon University has developed an easier way to solve quadratic equations. The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His ...
