Hi I am new, and need help in a quadratic question can anyone help me ?
ya what do you need?
Can you show me the steps of how to solve quadratics?
ax^2 + bx + c = 0 you plug in (a,b, and c) into the quadratic equation to find the solutions \[x = \frac{ -b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4(a)(c)} }{ 2a }\]
show me how to find the solutions, in order to find them, what are the steps ?
It's just plugging in. Very simple, give a question so I can show you have it's done.
y=2x^2+3x+c
What is the value for c?.
how would you solve that ? and plus i made this equation up. I'm not looking for a spefic answer, i just wanna learn the quadratics
Does c not have a value?
does it have to have a value ?
Yes, it does.
if it does, then let c= -3
a = 2 b=3 c = -3
Now plug into the equation.
y=2x^2+3x+-3
Plug those into the quadratic equation you get \[x = \frac{ -3\pm \sqrt{3)^2-4(2)(-3)} }{ 2(2) }\]
\[x = \frac{ -3\pm \sqrt{9+24} }{ 4 }\]
x = -3 +- √36 / 4 x = -3 + 6 / 4, x = -3 - 6 /4 x = 3/4 x= -9/4
Shamil show don't know that square root it confuses me. Tell me what difference does it make that the quadratic formula which is y=x^2+bx+c
y=x^2 + bx + c is not the quadratic formula
That is used for graphic quadratic functions.
What ??
graphing*
ohhh for graphing only? no wonder, well show me how the square root one works
http://www.purplemath.com/modules/grphquad.htm Read this page carefully it will explain how to graph quadratic functions..
But it's not the same as someone explaing it..
