Question

What are the 5 different way to solve the quadratic equations

Answer 1

Explanation:

A quadratic equation is a equation with a degree of 2. Below are the 5 ways to solve a quadratic equation.

• Factoring - First, make sure that one side of the equation is 0. Turn the equation into a product of two binomials and set each one to 0. Solve both to get both solutions.
• Completing the Square - Add to both sides such that one side becomes a square of a binomial. Square root both sides and solve with algebra.
• Square Roots - If one side of the equation is a perfect square, square root both sides and solve normally.
• Graphing - Make one side of the equation 0 and graph. The x-intercepts are the solutions.
• Quadratic Formula - First, make the equation follow the form
  `ax^2+bx+c=0`. Then, use the formula
  `x=(-b\pm√(b^2-4ac))/(2a)` to get the solutions.
