MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A pair of Kenosha math teachers have come up with a new solution to bring their lesson plans to life. All you need is a sling shot and a water balloon. "Our goal is to have the ...

The mathematician hopes this method will help students avoid memorizing obtuse formulas. His secret is in generalizing two roots together instead of keeping them as separate values. Quadratic ...

Look at the National 4 factorising section before continuing. When a question asks you to 'solve' a quadratic equation, this means that you are to find the roots of the quadratic. In other words, ...

In a boon to algebra students everywhere, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University has devised a simpler and more efficient way to solve problems involving the quadratic equation. The new method was ...

For tips on how to do this, look at Factorising quadratics and Factorisation of further quadratics in this guide. For (\({x}\) + 2)(\({x}\) + 7) to equal 0 either the first or second bracket must be ...

Everyone learns (and some readers maybe still remember) the quadratic formula. It’s a pillar of algebra and allows you to solve equations like Ax 2 +Bx+C=0. But just because you’ve used it doesn’t ...

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 ...
