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 quadratic formula for a quadratic equation in the form of \(ax^2 + bx + c = 0\) is \(x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\). The first solution is \(x = \frac ...

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 ...

Some quadratics cannot be factorised. An alternative method to solve a quadratic equation is to complete the square. To solve an equation of the form \(x^2 + bx + c = 0\) consider the expression ...
