Grade school math students are likely familiar with teachers admonishing them not to just guess the answer to a problem. But a new proof establishes that, in fact, the right kind of guessing is ...

\(y = x + 3\) 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 zero. To solve, put each bracket ...

Simultaneous equations Simultaneous examples with no common coefficients Creating and solving simultaneous equations Simultaneous equations with linear and quadratic Solving simultaneous equations ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
