Most linear algebra courses start by considering how to solve a system of linear equations. \[ \begin{align} a_{0,0}x_0 + a_{0,1}x_0 + \cdots a_{0,n-1}x_0 & = b_0 ...

\(\mathbf{ax^2 + bx + c = 0}\) where \(a\), \(b\) and \(c\) are numbers. Both \(b\) and/or \(c\) can be equal to zero. In this section, solving equations where \(a >1\) will be considered. To solve a ...

Certain types of quadratic programs with linear constraints have the property that an extreme point of the convex set of feasible solutions is an optimal solution. This paper presents a procedure for ...

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 ...

\(y = x + 3\) is a linear equation and \(y = x^2 + 3x\) is a quadratic equation. If the product of two numbers is zero, then one or both numbers must also be equal to ...

Looking for the answers to ax² + bx + c = 0? A mathematician has rediscovered a technique that the ancient Babylonians used. By Kenneth Chang and Jonathan Corum The quadratic equation has frustrated ...
